Beschleunigte Erderwärmung: Das 1,5-Grad-Ziel rückt in gefährliche Nähe
Eine Studie des Potsdamer Klima-Instituts belegt eine signifikante Zunahme der Erwärmungsrate seit 2015 und warnt vor dem raschen Reißen der Pariser Klimaziele.

That's neat.
"An east side pedestrian plaza, converted from part of a Milwaukee street, is to get some big improvements.
Ivanhoe Plaza, located next to the Oriental Theatre building, will be redesigned to include a new performance stage and shade structure."
#Milwaukee #EastSide

Parts of this bill seem poorly thought out. I like this:
"Slow Streets Speed Limits. Cities that have already adopted a slow streets program would gain the authority to set lower speed limits on those streets by ordinance or resolution, without having to first conduct an engineering and traffic survey, a process that can be time-consuming and costly."
Then again, we could road-diet slow streets to reduce the design speed today if we had political will.

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.
