Twin Cities folks! I'll be in town presenting at the National Planning Conference on Sunday April 14, but the great folks at Our Streets and Venture Bikes (with support from streets.mn and others!) put together a separate fun event for Friday evening, April 12. Hope to see some of you out there!  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/citynerd-bike-party-tickets-865874753697 

Important context for this coming Wednesday's video, where I continue my completely reasonable, not absurd at all dialog with Pickup Truck Guy. Watch if you haven't already, or re-watch if it's been awhile!  https://youtu.be/aIy5uv5-VrE 

New podcast appearance! I talked to the guys from Car-Free St. Pete for their podcast, which was super fun and kicks off with Transportation Jeopardy, which wasn't that easy. See if you can beat my score! There's also a YouTube version:  https://youtu.be/qofKeZnMOMM?si=GY_Dy... 

Also, there may or may not be tickets still available for my Portland event April 9...I can't confirm or deny, but if you're in the Portland area you probably already know. (They moved it from the 200-seat Clinton Street Theater to the 620-seat Aladdin.) 

Hey community -- want to know which cities I'm visiting this year and which ones I'm still mulling over? Want to influence my travel decisions? Give me recommendations on what to see/film in all these places? Then I've got the livestream you're looking for on Sunday!  https://youtube.com/live/XTkn7vdPRaU?feature=share 

Hey, if you know Houston, or even if you don't, this video is FANTASTIC and a great example of how to leverage YouTube to raise awareness and potentially spur activism. 

11th Street in the Heights recently got a road diet, which improved the street environment significantly for people walking and biking, but the newly elected mayor is making noise about ripping out all the improvements. The video includes lots of interviews with local residents and business owners who love the recent changes, which I think is important and persuasive when you're doing a video like this. Anyway, take 17 minutes to check it out! 

Have people watched this channel?? This video is so good. 

OK, so I've had enough people recommend this "Urban Planning YouTube has a HUGE problem" video to me (including lots of viewers whose opinions I regard highly!) that I decided I should probably watch it. So I started watching and realized...it would be kind of cool to do a livestream reaction and discussion, so I'm doing that tomorrow at 6pm ET/3pm PT.

I kind of hate "reaction" videos because I feel like they "steal" views from the original creator, so I recommend people go watch this one BEFORE the livestream and decide for themselves. It's by a channel called The Nth Review (I think they do video game reviews) and here's the link:

From what I've heard and what I've seen so far, I'm expecting a thoughtful critique of the urbanist YouTube space. I hope I'm right! Anyway, hope you can join. Livestream link here:  https://youtube.com/live/bpsVe7AC620?feature=share
