Brownsboro to Story Ave curve functioning as it was designed to, yet again. I hope the person taken away by ambulance will be OK. @KYTCDistrict5 @LouPubWorks @LouisvilleMayor #louisvilleky
A rare, bipartisan push to counter China and revive America's once-storied, but moribund maritime industry faces a big obstacle: Not nearly enough hands on deck.

A city spent $11.5m on a streetscape project. Within 4 years, they generated $273m in economic output. 🤯

Conventional wisdom thinks of car traffic as a liquid, where adding capacity (ie. width) keeps it flowing. But in reality it acts more like a gas, where it expands to fill the amount of space available. And the only proven way to relieve congestion is to evaporate some of it...🧵

Speed cameras in Philadelphia along a single stretch of dangerous road created a "90% reduction in excessive speeding, a 36% drop in car crashes, and 50% fewer traffic deaths in the first seven months."

Just moved back to @JerseyCity from @Louisville, and I can tell you, there's a lot that's working here that could work back home, @LouisvilleMayor @LouPubWorks @louisvillekygov @loudistrict4 @benforlou8

So if cameras are allowed to stop street racing, we're all good to use them to curb other forms of speeding and reckless driving, right? 'Bout time. @LMPD @LouisvilleMayor @VisionZero_Lou

Shutters are things that shut. So they must be half the size of the opening, and have hinges & "dogs" to hold them open. If it just screws on the wall and does nothing, it's not a shutter; it's a "screw-on do-nothing." Don't do that.

The last newspapers ever to be printed in the City of Chicago.
Cheers to the Chicago Tribune Pressmen and Presswomen who made this miracle happen every night at the Freedom Center.

1600 block of Story Ave performing as designed, again. Not a great look for @KentuckyDerby, but it is authentic #Louisville. @KYTCDistrict5 @LouisvilleMayor @LouPubWorks @LouMetro311 @jecoreyarthur
If only there were a creek right through the heart of #Louisville that's a joy to paddle on that could've been mentioned.... #Beargrass

You want to reduce the number of family farms being developed into single family subdivisions @jmnemes? Make Louisville more dense with multifamily homes and design streets and neighborhoods to be walkable like our pier cities to create an attractive family alternative.
Last month, I spoke with farmers all over Kentucky about some alarming numbers:
Between 2017-22, #Kentucky lost more than 5,600 family farms, and more than half a million acres of farmland.
