Yes! This.

“We cannot have an efficient form of our transportation system until we can envisage a better permanent structure for our cities,” he wrote in 1958. “And the first lesson we have to learn is that the city exists, not for the facile passage of motorcars, but for the care and culture of men [or, rather, of people]."

Rowlett leaders have a 'change of heart' over DART funding cuts 🚋

“DATA applauds the City of Rowlett for this strong show of support for DART. We are grateful to the city councilmembers for their willingness to reconsider their prior resolution after outreach from DART and DART-riding citizens of Rowlett, and we hope that the other cities that adopted similar resolutions last year follow Rowlett’s lead.”

Does Fort Worth need an urban rail line? Here’s what a study found 🚆

Vehicle traffic over the next 20 years is only going to get worse, so the city should look at alternate ways to move people around.

The average construction cost per mile for a streetcar system is roughly $40 million, according to the city report.

It could also take roughly seven to 10 years to plan, design, and build an urban rail system.

Интегрируемся с банками: Saga бесконечности, или как мы начали проводить вклады онлайн

Осенью 2020 года финтех в России несколько изменился: открывать вклады онлайн стало возможно не только банкам, но и сторонним финансовым платформам. В Сравни мы уже много лет помогаем клиентам сопоставлять условия по вкладам в различных банках. И с появлением новой возможности задумались о том, чтобы разработать свою платформу для проведения онлайн-вкладов. Под катом рассказываем о том, по каким принципам работает наша платформа, какую роль в её устройстве играет Saga MassTransit и как посредством решения происходят интеграции с банками. Плюс раскрываем процесс самой интеграции — на конкретном кейсе.

Brilliant!

And I so hope some of the funds are carved off for #Bicycle infrastructure - especially secure bicycle parking! (in the best cities, there are also changing rooms/showers to promote #CycleCommuting #bikecommuting.)

Ooo, ooo! and, since it will be going to #MassTransit, #BikesOnTrains! This is a big issue in many places. In Amsterdam it appears everyone has two bicycles - one in the city, the other at their local train station, requiring twice as much parking.

"The Intermodal Transportation Center at the corner of North Main and Market streets includes a new direct access point to downtown Salinas with the extension of Lincoln Avenue across Market Street, a five-bay bus transfer area, bike lanes and bike lockers, safe pedestrian crossings and sidewalks, and commuter parking.” — from report by James Herrera, #MontereyCounty Herald. montereyherald.com/2025/01/30/ Republished by masstransitmag.com/rail/infras
