@wdet @SHDetroit I-375: if the state insists that they cannot pause road design work to get the vision right, then they could win public support by demonstrating how they’re speeding up work on a vision and framework. Instead they’re punching down…

… by saying the community has been engaged enough. And that we don’t understand the complexity of the project.

MDOT is delaying its next public meeting on the removal of I-375 to 2024.
"Based on your constructive feedback the project team has decided to modify its approach."
Some of the feedback: bridgedetroit.com/some-detro…

The MDOT project has drawn heavy scrutiny from residents who feel the design lacked public input. Feedback sessions are ongoing.

Great graphic showing absurd street width featured in @StreetsblogUSA
"The world stopped in 2020, and MDOT didn’t...That doesn’t mean it’s some big, evil conspiracy, but it also doesn’t mean the traffic engineers had everybody on board." - @bryanboyer

This quote, right here. Rather than “Fix the Damn Roads,” we should have a goal for Michigan that says “Make Michigan Walkable Again.”

“The state and the city developed the [I-375] with such rich and thorough community input that we were able to avoid layers of review that might otherwise have been necessary and get through NEPA more quickly.” - Sec. Buttigieg

MDOT’s process of community engagement has amounted to regular updates with little discussion of substantive topics like justice, project values, or pedestrian safety. Zero indication of how discussion is folded into the plan. This is not “rich and thorough.”

Hey @IKEsmartcity @orange_barrel, what's with you installing your kiosk right in the pedestrian pathway on the sidewalk in Detroit (Lafayette at St Antoine)? Do you... hate pedestrians?

My @la_Biennale installation also includes 4 technical illustrations/systems diagrams that articulate the primary hyper-travel technologies that constitute the fundamental components of the protoport networks. They function as both transport systems and energy production hubs.

Signed up for id.me and that selfie verification process with different colored flashing lights was fun.

The reason I have a newsletter is so that I can spend time making images for topics such as "what if all 1.1 million of Chicago's cars were rolled into a giant katamari?"
