You don't need machine learning to know that Lauren Bennett owns the stage in this fabulous white jacket. With sharp lines, and a subtle 80s vib, the jacket is wonderfully highlighted by a burgundy top and stunning necklace. #fashionofwhere #EsriUC2018

What once was a space for cars was remade into a place for people. All it took was vision, data, & will. Can you really still insist this isn’t possible in YOUR city? #NewYork transformation via @JSadikKhan @g_meslin, with afterpic by @mitchell_silver. #NYC

I would jaywalk at grade at this intersection in an instant instead of going all the way up and all the way down just to get across the street. An exhausting, wasteful design - obviously by someone who has no intention of crossing this street, ever. x.com/jonspencer247/status/1…

The idea that everyone is *owed* a transit line leads politicians to promise them in locations (unwalkable, low density suburbs) where the necessary conditions for success are absent. Good read from @humantransit: humantransit.org/2018/05/is-…
