Old news but fun anyway. Instead of forced to use a bicycle, how about given a taste of freedom on a bicycle? The answer to congestion alleviation is so close but people can't quite grab on to it.

It's only been a month, but the results thus far are pretty dramatic. It works, so naturally the big buffoon opposes it.

I'm just wondering how many Irish #drivers use their #satnav even when they know where they are going?
Also are drivers aware that using sat nav is a way to reduce #TrafficCongestion ?
It's just something that came up when a student was surprised that I use mine every day even though I know the way, they'd never considered that it monitors traffic and alters routes accordingly.

Friday is farmers market day at Del Monte Center, Monterey. Don’t know who rode this bike to DMC today, just appreciate that they did. Related tips in “Bike to Farmers Markets” https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/food-for-all and in “Shopping by Bike”: https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/unique-attractions
DMC is in city of Monterey. The city’s bike-aware leaders, e.g., Mayor Tyller Williamson and Council Member Gino Garcia (whose day job is working for Ecology Action of Santa Cruz / Lets Modo) may be unaware that we formerly had in that Shopping section of the Tips guide a detailed map listing all Del Monte Center bike rack locations. Their ED at that time himself biked to work! Why is that detailed map no longer in our guide? Because DMC 
REMOVED those bike racks!

[Video + gift article] Plan to extend turnpike through #farmland gets slammed before first public meeting
The #MaineTurnpikeAuthority is hosting a public meeting Monday evening on the #GorhamConnector, its plan to build a 5-mile, 4-lane highway spur from the turnpike in #SouthPortlandMaine to the #GorhamBypass.
by Kelly Bouchard
March 25, 2024
"Speakers at the press conference said the connector would worsen or simply relocate #TrafficCongestion and exacerbate #pollution and other #environmental problems.
"Warren Knight, one of six siblings involved in the farm, questioned whether the authority chose to build the connector through the farm because it was easier to cross and the cheapest alternative for a project expected to cost well over $200 million.
"'We don’t think that’s right or fair,' Knight said. 'Why should #OpenSpace and farmland be considered expendable?”
"Tuck O’Brien, a Portland resident and representative of Trout Unlimited, a nonprofit that works to preserve and restore fish habitat, said the connector would jeopardize the clean, cool headwaters of #RedBrook, a tributary to Clarks Pond in South Portland that is [one of the last] active habitats for #BrookTrout.
"Sadie Donnell, a #GorhamMaine resident, said the region’s traffic challenges present a 'huge opportunity' to expand public transportation and reduce the number of cars on the road, rather than move them from one road to another."
