- I’ve written an opinion piece about the proposed changes to Park st, I mention @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social Bristol Declaration @ianwalker.bsky.social, considering health and options for everyone to use the space and have the choice to travel sustainably www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...
- This morning’s #pavementparking challenge. Not only difficult for those #walking and #wheeling, but hinders visibility for the contra flow cycle lane.

- I’m looking forward to local authorities implementing enforcement against #pavementparking. Walking across the street from a school at home time should not be a challenge.
- It’s been a busy couple of days with the Bristol One City Gathering and the OC Transport Board in the last couple of days. I cycled to yesterday’s meeting in the sun, and walked to Tuesday’s meeting in typical Jan 26 rain. Lots to do, but great to see the willingness to collaborate!
- Reposted by Zoe Banks GrossI wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

- Reposted by Zoe Banks GrossMore good news today, if you can believe it! The picture in the thumbnail below is one of the multi-million £ public realm improvements which Lutfur Rahman wanted to rip out to turn this street back into a traffic sewer. Utterly unhinged stuff, much schadenfraude at his ignominious defeat today 🥳

- Reposted by Zoe Banks GrossIn the @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social Global Climate Highlights 2025 report we used #dataviz to present its key messages and bring them to a wider audience. This first example shows daily temperature anomalies from 1940 to 2025 and it was inspired by the work of @erwanrivault.com (BBC)

If someone is being cruel, obnoxious and ridiculous, don't try to reason with them. Chances are you won't get anywhere. Just block. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Because livable streets deliver some of the highest returns in transport investment—up to €16 per €1 spent: investinlivablestreets.info
