Where's my Carmaggedon, Day 4. Thursday morning commute from Vancouver to Portland is 31 minutes, about 5 minutes longer than the pre-shutdown travel time, according to Google Maps. That's well within the typical range of morning commute times (20-40 minutes). cityobservatory.org/carmageddoni...

The cost of expanding freeways is like 3x any possible benefit when you neglect all the damage cars do and consider only the land value. #nomorefreeways #induceddemand #CarsRuinCities

In a budget crunch let’s not spend money on wasteful projects like freeway expansion. It’s bad for our wallets, community, and the environment.

My general understanding is that, while improving multi-modal transit is fucking awesome let's do more of that please, it's not going to have much impact on greenhouse gas emissions unless it's paired with reductions to fossil fuel transportation infrastructure (e.g. road diets). #NoMoreFreeways
