smcgregor, to Milwaukee

For anyone in #Milwaukee that doesn’t already know, there is a great newsletter every month detailing the efforts that are (and maybe are not) underway to make our streets safer for everyone. It’s a great way to stay up to date with what projects are coming soon, and where and when to engage as a citizen to bring about the change you want to see. Check it out:

smcgregor,

@cenbe @mitch I was having the same problem, so I’ve just bookmarked it for now. They recently switched off of substack to a new platform, so I’m sure the kinks will be worked out in due time.

For 9 years and 470 episodes, I’ve been the cohost of a podcast called . It ended this week. The full episode is great https://relay.fm/rocket/470 but I went ahead and clipped my goodbye message. I mean everything I’m saying/crying through here and I thank all of you for listening and supporting us over the years.

smcgregor,

@film_girl Rocket has been an amazing show, and it bums me out to see it come to an end. It’s been almost five years since I started listening, and I always enjoyed how everyone brought different perspectives to the table.

Y'know how I like nuance and am skeptical of simple narratives?

Well, I have a bugbear regarding the discussion on pedestrian fatalities in the US.

To start this thread, I'd like to think I have an unbiased perspective here. I don't drive a very large vehicle, I loathe the arms race in vehicle size, and I welcome all efforts to reduce car-dependence and make our streets safer for all.

But... every discussion I listen to on this topic is real handwavey on the impacts of distracted driving.

smcgregor,

@TechConnectify Worth noting that larger vehicles usually have larger blind spots, meaning that even if all other factors are held equal, driving a larger vehicle alone makes pedestrian impacts more prevalent, as well as more deadly.
