Road Diet Guide

Overview

In the mid 20th century many urban streets were designed with excess automotive capacity in order to accommodate future peak hour traffic. Much of this traffic never materialized or dissipated due to suburbanization and other factors. Now, many cities are maintaining excessively wide streets which are under-used and which only offer a single transportation option for automobiles. These under-utilized traffic lanes are a valuable land bank and provide enormous opportunities to re-purpose public space for more sustainable transportation uses.

Research and numerous case studies have shown that road diets (removing one or more automobile traffic lanes) are one of the most effective traffic safety measures and provide opportunities to use under utilized right-of-way for pedestrian, cycling or transit facilities...

The importance of road diets cannot be overstated. They offer multiple benefits, including traffic calming, a reduction in crash rates across all modes, and opportunities to dedicate underutilized right of way to sustainable modes and human scaled public spaces.

Road diets can increase overall capacity of a street by allocating space to more efficient, sustainable modes. (Source: NACTO)..."

Twitter reactions to CBS pushing study linking child obesity with climate change - TheBlaze: 

Many commentators noted that children nowadays are consumed with screens that may prevent them from going outside to exercise. Others pointed out that diets are probably not as healthy as they used to be. There were some who blamed Democrats and blue states for closing schools, playgrounds, sports leagues, and beaches – which led to a more sedentary lifestyle for children. Others questioned the study as to why obesity isn't more prevalent in hotter climates than in colder ones.

4. “Euthanasia” is now Canada’s sixth-leading cause of death.

CBO: Democrat Deal Takes $20B from Working, Middle Class Americans with New IRS Audits

CBO: Democrat Deal Takes $20B from Working, Middle Class Americans with New IRS Audits: 

Hours before its passage in the House, lawmakers received the bill’s CBO score — revealing that billions will be taken from working and middle class Americans as a result of billions in new funding for IRS audits.

Specifically, the CBO estimates that the Democrats’ $80 billion for new IRS audits will take at least $20 billion from working and middle class Americans earning less than $400,000 a year. These billions are in addition to the billions already taken from this income group via IRS audits.

The revelation comes as Democrats and President Joe Biden’s administration have falsely claimed that the Inflation Reduction Act does not go after Americans earning less than $400,000.

Why the British police are so keen on recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’

"Not a single burglary has been solved over the last three years in more than half of Britain, but over 17,000 so-called ‘non-crime hate incidents are being dealt with every year by the police. 

Why should these be considered of greater importance than burglary and theft?"

Mace: We're Hiring 'Four Infantry Divisions' of IRS to Go After Working Americans, Not Dealing with Refund Backlog: 

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends First,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said that it would be good if the “four infantry divisions of IRS agents” that the Inflation Reduction Act hires were primarily used to get people their refunds faster, that would be beneficial, but instead, “they’re going to be going after hardworking Americans.”

They're giving us plenty of warning!

A Drought in Germany Gets the Media Overexcited

• There is a drought in Germany, and naturally the media has gone into hyperdrive to link it to global warming:

...The government agency which monitors the levels say that the current low water may just be part of a normal pattern. But, they note, such events are becoming more intense as a result of climate change and they say the situation will worsen in the second half of this century. “There’s no denying climate change and the industry is adjusting to it,”

However, annual rainfall trends at Mainz, which is just upstream of Kalb, show that while recent years have been drier than the 1980s and 90s, they are no drier than the 1950s. We also see exactly the same trends with April to September rainfall:

San Francisco's $20K trash cans
"If you’ve been to San Francisco lately, you probably noticed that the city is a mess.

...There is garbage all over the place in many areas, particularly the sections of the city where the homeless tend to congregate. 

Public trash cans are seen overflowing or dumped out on the sidewalks when vagrants root through them. 

...The municipal government has a plan to address the trash can issue. 

This summer there will be a variety of new, experimental models of trash cans deployed around the city. And the prototypes for these 21st-century trash receptacles are only costing the taxpayers anywhere from $11,000 to $20,000 each..."

Why was the press barred from the arraignment of Salman Rushdie's attacker?
"...Rushdie is in the hospital in serious condition and his attacker, Hadi Matar, was due to be arraigned this morning. 

But it turns out that the New York Post and the Associated Press (at a minimum) were told by officials that they could not be present at the arraignment to cover the news...cited “the safety and security and good running order of the facility.”

...But Salman Rushdie is an international figure. 

Having some maniacal Iran supporter nearly kill him is big news. 

How the authorities choose to handle Hadi Mater will be watched closely..."
