Talked to some seriously impressive MI advocates who shared their blueprint + some very good and concrete tips for fighting highway expansions. (Spoiler: get to know your MPO!)

. @MichiganDOT plans to turn I-375 into a giant surface highway (up to 9 lanes wide!) while cynically calling this a "Reconnecting Communities Project". Detroiters are pushing back - please read and sign their open letter here:

On May 1 we put back up our bike counter on the Division bikeway in Ann Arbor and see a large increase in southbound traffic. It's likely attributed to the completion of the nearby Catherine/Miller bikeway last Nov that increased the bikeway connectivity.

Bosses in the Dean's & Provost's office have bullied & cajoled dpts into fabricating grades for students of striking workers.
This is beyond the pale.
@UMich is throwing all professional integrity to the wind. They are playing a dangerous game & risking their accreditation.
ALT Email from a department chair saying that the Provost and College are 'requiring' them to submit grades. They add that "none of us are doing this willingly". "any students with outstanding grades will receive an 'A'."

A toxic car ad from @VW. Yes, the person looking at his phone & the light is green for traffic, but they're perpetuating the narrative of the distracted pedestrian. The slogan for their largest SUV? "Drive Bigger" @tomflood1 youtu.be/XinYpJlzKfw

We are happy to publish an online point cloud visualization recorded from our lidar bike for cycling safety research. You can use a mouse or fingers to rotate the view or zoom in/out (touchscreen friendly). Check it out! Created with #Potree (@m_schuetz)

Do urban cyclists actually slow down drivers?
Researchers compared average speed of cars with another car in front of them to cars preceded by a bike.
The difference: "1 mph or less."

If you own a car, how much do you spend on it in a year? Include payments, tags, direct cost of parking, gas, maintenance, insurance, and service, but *not* depreciation.
(If you own an EV, substitute the difference in electric bills; if >1 car, consider it on a per-car basis.)

Any #BikeTwitter know of research comparing eye movements of motorists and cyclists? I’ve been noticing how crossing an intersection, I scan a ridiculous number of times. My experience and observations suggest motorists give a once-over and go their way. (@fredfeng?)
