If you live in the southeast, find out if your community is doing the same. If so, ask how you can support them. It's hard work, physically and emotionally, and it's going to be needed for a very long time. #HelpTheHelpers

This week in Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets: a field trip to a cluster of schools located on a narrow, high speed two-lane road, and meeting with #ChapelHillNC planning staff to discuss ways we can make the area safer for kids to get to and from school.

The focus for the 2nd half of the course is on developing design and policy recommendations to support the town's commitment to #SafeStreetsForAll. It's a treat helping our students get this hands on experience.

Every morning, my kid and I #bike to #school, riding side-by-side down a neighborhood connector road with no pedestrian or bicycle facilities. Lots of people in cars drive past us. They give us space and don't yell about not riding single file.

Plus, a neighbor with a battery system powerful enough to run a fridge and a blender took my garden produce--getting ready to go bad in my own lifeless fridge--and turned it into gazpacho. I have been told to expect a delivery of cold, wet, savory dinner at 6.

Still wicked hot around here but things are looking up.

#NoPower #ChapelHillNC

We still don't have power, but the neighbors (with the quiet, not-diesel generator) just brought me a breakfast burrito, so I'm doing ok.

Power company estimates they'll get our line restored by midnight (14 hours from now), and the storms that got us into this mess blew the hottest of the hot weather away, so it's only regular-August heat and not apocalypse-August heat.

80k homes still without power in our area.

#NoPower #chapelhillnc

The power is still out. Duke Energy has still not come out, so they are still likely unaware that there is a tree tottering over a (evacuated) house, being held up by the power line itself.

Will my sanity outlast the diesel? Or will the line snap, drop the tree, and make things go boom?

#NoPower #ChapelHillNC

I swear my neighbor's diesel generator just shifted gears

My expertise is in #sustainable #transportation. My partner's is sustainable #forestry.

Hey there #RoadSafety & #TrafficSignals brain trust:

The NE leg of this intersection has a signalized #crosswalk w/ beg button. Town staff just converted it to rest-in-walk, which is lovely. But there's a permissive yellow that allows drivers from the arterial to turn left while the #walk sign is active.

We may have the option to* either*:

* keep the rest-in-walk
or
* eliminate the permissive yellow but lose the rest-in-walk

WWYD?

There's a fringe group in #ChapelHillNC & #CarrboroNC that opposes literally any sort of man-made change. And they'll happily take whatever shape they need to recruit good people to their side. The latest effort involves fighting a greenway. Because climate change.

I've spent a long time sitting at this pedestrian signal, waiting for a car to come along and trigger a walk phase. But some time in the past few months it was quietly switched to come on automatically when the adjacent traffic light turns green. And it's LOVELY.

@triangleblogblog Did you know about this?

For those unaware, the Chapel Hill Town Council recently voted 8-1 to overturn its 2013 Comprehensive Parks Plan and build housing on a prime section of the former American Legion property. This would require removal or drastic downsizing of Legion pond, a central feature of any proposed community park. A petition to oppose this development drew over 1000 signatures from across the town and beyond, but to no avail. However, the fight goes on to preserve this lone green space dwarfed by the many new luxury apartments in the area. To this end, a talented park supporter has created these videos to show what will be lost - forever.

When #CarCulture meets #LivingWithCovid, it's kids who suffer.

Our infatuation with #driving has made it nearly impossible for #kids to #walk or #bike to #school safely. And our steadfast refusal to admit that #CovidIsNotOver means school districts finding themselves without enough healthy #BusDrivers to keep school buses running.

In #ChapelHillNC, kids without a ride to school are being denied multiple days' worth of instructional time.

A really good point raised by #CHTC member Tai Huynh at last night's hearing on #MissingMiddle #housing in #ChapelHillNC. A community member insisted that every #homeowner be sent a flier explaining potential #zoning changes. Huynh asks: why not renters as well? Why not workers who *would* live in #ChapelHill but for our current #discriminatory housing policy?

These people, too, are #stakeholders.

Tonight #ChapelHillNC's town council will take up the highly controversial topic of... [checks notes] ...removing barriers for the town's workforce to live in the town. #CHTC #MissingMiddle #HousingChoice #Housing #WeCantAllLiveOnHalfAcreLotsAnymore

If you #inherited your #SingleFamilyHome or paid for it with inherited cash I'm really not convinced your opinions on #AffordableHousing are relevant.

You know what my kid's going to inherit? A blown out #economy where dignified housing is reserved for the elite, unless we make structural changes today to ensure access to affordable #housing for all our #kids in the #future.

Bad #RoadDesign is responsible for far more crashes and deaths than it gets blamed for. But sometimes it really is just crap driving that gets people killed, even when the #infrastructure is decent.
