The Weekly Dispatch

I start my life as a spy, tomorrow and ooo how I love to be a spy. The spy business isn't what it use to be. Good thing I only need to do a four day. I feel as though my whole life is disjointed by these continual jaunts outside normal life. I won't complain to much it pays me some bills, and I just the throw the others away.

You can never post what you want to say, unless you like jail. I say that even as a non spy.


Moving on to Arizona,

Crossing Center line

Now granted one has an investigation going on. The other is only a few days old.
I never can understand how one gets this and the other gets that. Just yesterday a person hit one pedestrian and fled then hit another pedestrian. He should be getting what the Drag racer is getting, but we know he won't or will they finally come down tough on this person. I am trying hard to believe they will. MURDER to be continued.

In New York more protected bike lanes and this one is two way bike lane.

If your not familiar there is a big park and so it made the separated bike path easy. Yet This design might go farther, NYC is making a big push on bikes, as it has no other choice. Mass is expensive, and cars are horrible.
I like this design for one way streets as they are too limiting on cycling unless you can contra flow.

You should note Minneapolis Minnesota recently took down bike lanes that had contra flow. Which worked great in my opinion.

This is what intensification is.
"My own view is that no other single category of activity is more important to sustainable development than revitalization."
