… by saying the community has been engaged enough. And that we don’t understand the complexity of the project.

MDOT is delaying its next public meeting on the removal of I-375 to 2024. "Based on your constructive feedback the project team has decided to modify its approach." Some of the feedback: https://t.co/Q2MVM5Rejt

Great graphic showing absurd street width featured in @StreetsblogUSA "The world stopped in 2020, and MDOT didn’t...That doesn’t mean it’s some big, evil conspiracy, but it also doesn’t mean the traffic engineers had everybody on board." - @bryanboyer

MDOT’s process of community engagement has amounted to regular updates with little discussion of substantive topics like justice, project values, or pedestrian safety. Zero indication of how discussion is folded into the plan. This is not “rich and thorough.”

“The state and the city developed the [I-375] with such rich and thorough community input that we were able to avoid layers of review that might otherwise have been necessary and get through NEPA more quickly.” - Sec. Buttigieg https://t.co/FHAu4UZShW

Good morning. And thank you very much, first of all, to Mayor Landrieu for your leadership. As you might imagine, I am convinced that it is always a good idea to put a mayor in charge of something...

Hey @IKEsmartcity @orange_barrel, what's with you installing your kiosk right in the pedestrian pathway on the sidewalk in Detroit (Lafayette at St Antoine)? Do you... hate pedestrians?

‘Highway by another name’: I-375 redesign plan disappoints many Detroiters
outliermedia.org
Critics say the redesign plan for I-375 in Detroit still puts pedestrian safety at risk and does little to reconnect neighborhoods.

My @la_Biennale installation also includes 4 technical illustrations/systems diagrams that articulate the primary hyper-travel technologies that constitute the fundamental components of the protoport networks. They function as both transport systems and energy production hubs.

Signed up for https://t.co/3tjKqF6nDV and that selfie verification process with different colored flashing lights was fun. What's going on there?

The reason I have a newsletter is so that I can spend time making images for topics such as "what if all 1.1 million of Chicago's cars were rolled into a giant katamari?"
