😀🚲<p>Between the wood smoke, exhaust of cold car engines climbing a hill, and the complete policy failure of our <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>transportation</span></a> system&#39;s status-quo, older generations are really sticking it to the kids. Career DOT people can&#39;t figure out why we wouldn&#39;t want to give them $4B for finishing their project designs from the 1950s (to use Portland as an example) just shut it down. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Pollution</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PublicHealth</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BanCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BanCars</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeBus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BikeBus</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/SchoolStreets" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SchoolStreets</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/SafeRoutesToSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SafeRoutesToSchool</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/PredatoryDelay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PredatoryDelay</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/JFDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JFDI</span></a></p>
