Can Cleveland go from urban decay to transit Haven? by Mattcaff in c/fuck_cars@lemmy.ml
[-] Mattcaff@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah… there’s certainly some progress in the works and the mayor in particular seems to get it. But I wouldn’t bet on Cleveland becoming Amsterdam either.

I remember how funny I found that video the first time I saw it (when it was new). It has not aged well... 🫣

Cleveland has better than expected transit, but it's starved for resources. Can they turn it around and attract more residents? (urbanists.video)

Part-Time Organizing Job in the Triangle with Swing Left (swing-left.breezy.hr)

I'm looking for a great organizer to join Swing Left as the Triangle Organizing Coordinator. It's a flexible, part-time, $18 an hour role that will help us build new local grassroots groups.

2024 will be a critical election for defending democracy and defeating MAGA extremism—there's no time to waste so we're starting to organize now. We must re-elect Biden-Harris, defend our narrow Democratic Senate Majority, and win back the House—giving Democrats a federal trifecta that can strengthen our democracy and make progress on the issues we care about. And we must elect a Democrat as the next Governor of North Carolina. Let's get started. I hope you'll apply or share this listing with someone who might be a good fit.

Cincinnati was once one of the largest and densest cities in the country—before highways and sprawl tore it apart. I made a video about how it can get back on the right track - literally 🚋! by Mattcaff in c/urbanism@slrpnk.net

Very cool. Yeah, Cincinnati’s sprawl is crazy - but there’s a lot of opportunity for transit oriented development so I guess that the optimistic perspective.

Cincinnati's streetcar is setting ridership records. Will that lead to more transit? Check out the video where I lay out a transit plan Cincinnati! (urbanists.video)

With streetcar ridership setting records, where should Cincinnati go next to improve transit and reduce car dependency? I made a video with some ideas and I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts. (urbanists.video)

Columbus's Vision Zero initative is good - but way too small and timid (urbanists.video)

Columbus is on track to have more people riding bikes die on our roads this year than any year on record. The city isn’t doing nearly enough to protect people who walk or bike.
