gcvsa ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but before we bother building more trains, we need to build more mixed-use apartment buildings in town and city centers. No point in trains if there aren't concentrations of populations to use them. <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanism</a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/planning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#planning</a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transit</a> <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transportation</a>

Marcus LundbladExperimenting with showing custom icons for stations. Inspired a bit from our highway shield rendered (derived from OpenStreetMap Americana)<a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/tree/wip/mlundblad/station-icons" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/tree/wip/mlundblad/station-icons</a>It's making use of the "network:wikidata" OSM tag.Currently rendering these icons in map view itself is not tested (this needs an extra addition to our planetiler generator for the vector tiles to be run in the next import).<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gnomemaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnomemaps</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnome</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transit</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/tunnelbana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tunnelbana</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mapstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mapstodon</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/openstreetmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openstreetmap</a>

Ned YeungThis is what passes for a bus stop in Edmonton. Yes, you have to wait standing in that mud hole or the bus won't stop.Where we're standing now? That's the only multi-use active transportation path that seems to go anywhere in the west end (and even then, it ends at 163 St when all the businesses are on 170 St and on).As such, it is a heavily-used path which only becomes unused during a forced "off-season" when maintenance is neglected to the point of making it unusable, and users are forced onto the street where they are often run off the road by aggressive drivers.The road the cars are driving on? Huge 4-lane road which even during rush hour has mostly empty space but traffic drives so fast and aggressively (with no traffic calming whatsoever), that it is very difficult for active transportation to get in, which they must do (or find a completely different route altogether) during the many long months when the heavily-used MUP is left unusable.Even though there is SO much empty space on this road, if traffic gets slowed down for a split second (which generally only happens when somebody is turning left, and through traffic passes beside them), the horns come out on FULL BLAST. Tons of aggression and road rage on this street, largely contributed to by the autocentric "stroad" design.This is a classic example of infrastructure and maintenance designed to force an end of active transportation supposedly by concentrating on automobile traffic, except that this focus on cars gives no actual benefit to them, except to make them feel more privileged.Note: Despite its looks, this road is more dangerous for the drivers than others. I have seen so many near crashes on it when I used to use it regularly. The road is wide and straight, but that just means people can't get their foot off the gas.Although they take their anger out on the rest of us, it's the people driving on the road who are most at risk. Driving does NOT make you safer.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yeg</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/yegbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yegbike</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transit</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanism</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/publictransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publictransport</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/activetransportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activetransportation</a>

Adrianna TanI just posted this at work and it seems like not everyone knows this. You can take the Amtrak Coast Starlight from Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose or LA in the other direction, to the Monterey Bay aquarium. On Amtrak.com, simply put Monterey Bay Aquarium as your destination and when you arrive in Salinas station at 12:20pm (daily), there will be a bus that waits for you and picks you up to send you to the doors of the Aquarium by 1:30pm (usually takes just 20min)For a true car-free experience, book a hotel room in New Monterey near the Aquarium, like the Clement Intercontinental, Monterey Plaza, or Wave Street Inn or anything on that side of the tunnel (including Pacific Grove). You can walk / bike the coastal trail. Rent a bike from Work Horse bicycles downtown. If you bring your own bike on the train (check in without boxing!) you can put it on MST city bus no 20, the bus station is 5 min ride away. Wait at and have a taco at Tacos Don Beto next door. There is a small outdoor area for Covid cautious folks. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transit</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trains</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Amtrak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amtrak</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Monterey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monterey</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>
