Today: (a) city council passed my bill to eliminate minimum parking mandates; (b) several of us introduced a package of bills to limit smoke shops; (c) BOPA announced that the Top of The World is being saved. One heck of a Monday!

At Bikemore, we believe the Jones Falls Valley can and should be realized as a world-class linear park. We don't believe relocation of a waste transfer facility fits into that vision. Read more and share your opinion with your elected officials here:

🚨 The @PET_Symposium 2025 program is live! https://t.co/RHb3AyMYpF Packed with 3 exciting keynotes, 150+ cutting-edge privacy papers, and a great lineup of co-located workshops. The early registration deadline is approaching. Join us in Washington DC or online.

The Law Department should have a chat with whoever put these signs up since they just argued in the Appellate Court, and the court upheld, that the entire promenade is a transportation connector for biking, scooting and walking, not a park.

Inspired by today's post from Transportation Alternatives, we analyzed Baltimore's Top 10 Super Speeders in 2024. Combined, these 10 speeders racked up 1,117 speed camera citations in 2024 and owe the city over $81,000. https://t.co/XAMLsESl6a

The allocation was part of a floor amendment to the state’s capital budget. Del. Mark Edelson, a Baltimore Democrat, said he and the rest of the Baltimore delegation fought for it because they “believe this project deserves that level of priority.”

We are deeply grateful for how hard @ElectEdelson fought for the city and active and public transit funding this session.

I am excited to be organizing the 2025 @PET_Symposium at @gwuengineering @GWtweets this July. Registration just opened today. You can take advantage of early bird pricing as prices increase starting June 15th. https://t.co/9F7aZ2gJsx

Congratulations (nearly) Dr. @collinsmunyendo on passing his dissertation defense! Collins is my first, home grown PhD student whom I admitted directly. It's been amazing to see you mature over the years, and I can't wait to see what you do next.

Hey @mtamaryland and @MDOTMTAHolly, it might be time to offer a few more trains for the return commute?

Passage of @GovWesMoore transit budget means increased economic development and more reliable services for our riders. #WeMoveMaryland

Today with sponsor @Embry4Delegate we launched the fight to bring justice to vulnerable road users by replacing Maryland's contributory negligence standard with a fairer one that recognizes that a human being hit by a car driver suffers more than a driver in a crash.

We alerted the city multiple times that these funds were in danger of being lost. Bikemore and our delegation were assured that the city was on top of this. There is no fathomable excuse for losing these funds. All the city had to do was ask for them. https://t.co/PdYMM0h4G5

Support for transit, walking, and biking is sky high in Maryland - new poll: - 78% support investing in transit, walking, biking - 88% support more choices to get to work, school, healthcare and more - 68% agree having these choices would help them save time and money

Maryland's Department of Transportation would receive $3.63 billion under Gov. Wes Moore's proposed 2026 budget. 

Congratulations again to @collinsmunyendo on being selected a Google Graduate Fellow. Read more about the amazing work he is doing. #proudadvisor https://t.co/5r1iJf7Slc

It is only the first full week of Session and I am already introducing legislation to: 🚗Improve public safety on roads 🚍Fund Locally Operated Transit Systems 🗑️Establish municipal recycling plans ⚾️Develop a raffle program with our friends at the Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore City residential assessments will go up 21%, just like 2-bedroom rents went up 24% this year. The only reason: a shortage of housing supply. There is no way to get ourselves out of a housing supply problem except to build. https://t.co/IgbcKIQ0Xq

If you're experiencing the winter joy of submitting PhD applications by the fire, consider applying to the Happy Lab @ ASU (deadline 12/31)! We do research in cybersecurity, trustworthy ML, and human-computing interaction (and often, all at the same time!)
