Podcasts about sidewalks

Washington State is on the brink of completing America's first comprehensive, statewide inventory of every single sidewalk and pedestrian path — and along with it, a collection of tools that make it easy for transportation professionals and every day travelers to see exactly where those paths fall short.  But why did it take any American state so long to create something like this, even in an era of Google Maps and ubiquitous AI? And what will it take to bring it to communities across the country in a way that lasts — and allows the data to keep getting better?  Today on The Brake, we chat with Dr. Anat Caspi about the resource she's calling OS Connect — short for Open Sidewalks — and the upcoming conference to explore the challenges and opportunities of leveraging big data for big change in the pedestrian realm. And along the way, we explore how her late daughter, Aviv, helped inspire her work, the tool named in her honor, and the importance of "anti-ableist AI" and bringing the human perspective to technology.

Send a textTim Seward built a 65 MPH electric moped in his garage to one-up his buddies. People wouldn't stop asking where to buy it. So he started Onyx Motors, raised almost a million bucks on Indiegogo in 3 hours… then sold the company for $1. When his successor died unexpectedly, Tim came back to rebuild from scratch. This is that story.The RCR 80V is a 91-volt electric motorbike that hits 65–75 MPH, goes 130 miles on a charge, runs Apple CarPlay, and costs about 75 cents to charge at home. It's built on a metal tube frame with swappable aluminum panels — designed from day one to be customized, modded, and made your own. Think less iPhone, more Lego kit.Tim breaks down the moped gang culture that started it all, why Americans are 20 years behind the rest of the world on two-wheeled transport, what he learned designing scooters at Bird, and why Gen Z might never buy a car.CHAPTERS0:00 – Cold Open0:00 – Intro: Who is Tim Seward?0:01 – Why Build Something That Lasts?0:03 – Moped Army & Moped Mondays0:05 – Moped Culture: US vs. the World0:07 – The Scooter Armageddon (Bird & South by Southwest)0:09 – Working at Bird & the Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle0:11 – Red Lights & "It's Not For Sale"0:13 – The Indiegogo Campaign ($920K in Hours)0:15 – Selling Onyx for $10:18 – Losing James & Resurrecting the Brand0:21 – Starting a Company Twice0:22 – The RCR 80V: Size, Speed & Power0:25 – Regulations & Licensing0:26 – Metal vs. Plastic: Design Philosophy0:28 – Built to Customize (Not Lock Down)0:31 – CarPlay, Navigation & Built-In Tech0:33 – Mounting Points, Mods & Steady Garage0:36 – Swappable Panels & Custom Builds0:40 – Favorite Mods: Back to the Future Build0:43 – The $245B Electric Vehicle Market0:46 – Gen Z Doesn't Want Cars0:49 – Park It on the Sidewalk (or Your Desk)0:52 – Speed Modes & Motorcycle Registration0:54 – What's Next for Onyx Motors0:56 – Where to Buy + OutroLINKSOnyx Motors → https://onyxmotors.comOnyx on Instagram → https://instagram.com/onyxmotorsSteady Garage (aftermarket accessories) → https://steadygarage.comOnyx Garage (custom builds gallery) → https://onyxmotors.com/pages/garageClick Here to Subscribe: FUTR.tv focuses on startups, innovation, culture and the business of emerging tech with weekly podcasts talking with Industry leaders and deep thinkers.Occasionally we share links to products we use.

This "Dee[ Dive" podcast outlines the official schedule for a public meeting of the Newtown Township Planning Commission held in early 2026. The agenda details several specific land use and zoning matters, including a conditional use application for a restaurant on South Eagle Road. Additionally, local officials intended to review a planning module for a residential property and discuss a proposed ordinance amendment regarding generators for elderly housing. The session also included time for signage discussions and various subcommittee reports from environmental and historical advisory groups. Collectively, the source serves as a formal record of the municipal business and regulatory issues facing the Bucks County community.

Funds would cover local portion of state grant Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail Inc. said on Monday (Feb. 9) that it has pledged $450,000 to extend the sidewalks on Fair Street from Mayor's Park in Cold Spring to Route 9D and Little Stony Point. The village and Philipstown are applying for a grant from the state Department of Transportation that would reimburse 80 percent of the project costs. The $450,000 from HHFT will cover the 20 percent required from the village and town. The project is expected to cost about $2 million. "We've been talking with the village and the town about sidewalks a lot," said Peter Mullan, the HHFT president. "How do we do something quick to address the situation in the village," to provide a safe pedestrian route from Main Street to Little Stony Point and the Washburn Trail. The Fjord Trail, a proposed 7.5-mile linear park connecting Cold Spring and Beacon, is designed to alleviate overcrowding in the village and along Route 9D. Many visitors are hikers who walk from the train station down Fair Street, which has no sidewalks, to reach Little Stony Point, Bull Hill and points beyond. Although Fair Street is not part of the proposed trail, HHFT Executive Director Amy Kacala said it has always been on the designers' minds. "In the master plan, we call Fair Street a 'meander' to acknowledge that people are walking on that route," she said. "It won't be a multimodal route in the same way as our trail, but more ways for people to get out of the village is important to reduce congestion. "While the connection we'll make to Dockside Park will be part of the trail, this is an alternate route people are already used to taking," she said. "We want to make sure that they're walking safely, and we know that the municipalities share that concern." The sidewalks on Fair Street will also be needed because the trail itself won't be coming to Cold Spring anytime soon: HHFT announced on Monday that it is delaying construction on the trail between Breakneck Ridge and Cold Spring for at least two years while it collects more ecological data. HHFT plans to build a boardwalk that extends into the river as part of the southern trail. Many residents, as well as the environmental group Riverkeeper, have expressed concern about the impact of construction on the river. Mullan said he hopes that because the matching funds for the sidewalks are coming from a local nonprofit, rather than the municipalities, it will make for a "stronger application" for the state grant. He said he also hopes the donation will give the project's detractors — of which there have been many in Philipstown — some pause. "I hope that the people of Cold Spring see this as a measure of our commitment to the community," he said. In a joint statement on Wednesday, Cold Spring Mayor Kathleen Foley, Nelsonville Mayor Chris Winward and Philipstown Supervisor John Van Tassel said they were grateful for the $450,000 pledge but that the municipalities still must find money to construct sidewalks along Route 9D toward Breakneck. "HHFT was not willing to contribute to funding for 9D, estimated at $3 million, for which we are pursuing a TAP [Transportation Alternatives Program] grant," they said. "In order to qualify for the reimbursable 80 percent from TAP, local governments have to demonstrate in their applications that the full amount for the projects can be fronted. We are actively working to secure front-end funding for both projects, and the situation is fluid."

A large snowstorm is a challenge for any municipality. With large snow piles, and a limited amount of space, it takes a lot of planning and coordination. Snow storms also increase the inaccessibility of cities which already hold many barriers to people navigating the city with mobility limitations, carts, and strollers and for those who rely on foot, bike, or bus traffic to get around. This week on Sunday and Monday, a large amount of snow fell on Troy, with a snow emergency declared for a couple days later. This resulted in many walking and biking paths being covered in snow. Capital Streets has been paying attention to this, and James Rath Executive Director of Capital Streets spoke with Sina Basila Hickey.

Apparently, Indiana is telling its students to clear the sidewalks after snow storms.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for January 21st Publish Date:  January 21st Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, January 21st and Happy Birthday to Jack Nicklaus I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Students shine at the Marietta City Schools district spelling bee Atlanta mayor talks FIFA, housing, transit Dog gained 57 pounds after rescue; owner now charged with animal cruelty All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: Students shine at the Marietta City Schools district spelling bee Seventh-grader Ella Grace Beard from Marietta Middle School clinched the top spot at the Marietta City Schools spelling bee on Friday, sealing her victory with the word “allergenic.” The competition was intense—10 students, each a champion from their school, battled it out for 26 rounds. Now, Ella Grace is headed to the Georgia District 2 spelling bee in Cherokee County. Her dad, Jason Beard, couldn’t be prouder. “She’s been studying like crazy—she even got a dictionary for Christmas last year,” he shared. Superintendent Grant Rivera, who handed out trophies to Ella Grace and runner-up Sreenika Arcot, called the spelling bee one of the most stressful events of the year. Jeff Hubbard, president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, praised the event as a celebration of intelligence. Words like “archetype” and “tenement” challenged the spellers, but Ella Grace rose to the occasion. Now, she’s ready for the next round. STORY 2: Atlanta mayor talks FIFA, housing, transit Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens had a simple message at the Cobb Chamber luncheon: when Atlanta thrives, the whole region wins. Borrowing JFK’s famous line, “A rising tide lifts all boats,” Dickens made it clear that Atlanta’s success ripples far beyond city limits. Take the FIFA World Cup, for example. Starting in June, Atlanta will host eight matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but the impact? It’ll stretch across the metro—Cobb County, Truist Park, Six Flags, Marietta Square. Through “Showcase Atlanta,” a leadership initiative chaired by Dickens, Arthur Blank, and UPS CEO Carol Tomé, the city plans to maximize the World Cup’s economic impact while spotlighting Atlanta’s culture and hospitality. And it’s not just about FIFA—Atlanta’s hosting the Super Bowl in 2028 and the NCAA Final Four in 2031. But Dickens didn’t shy away from challenges. With the metro population expected to grow by 1.8 million by 2050, he stressed the need for affordable housing and better transportation. “Teachers, first responders—they’re being priced out of the communities they serve. That’s a loss for all of us,” he said. And traffic? Atlanta’s infamous for it. Dickens wants to change that, starting with MARTA expansion into Cobb and Gwinnett. “We can’t keep doing this one-person-per-car thing forever,” he said. Dickens closed with a reminder: safety, health, opportunity—these aren’t partisan issues. “We all want thriving communities,” he said. “That’s something we can all agree on.” STORY 3: Dog gained 57 pounds after rescue; owner now charged with animal cruelty   Jordan Dean, 30, of Marietta, is facing an animal cruelty charge after what authorities describe as a heartbreaking case involving his Great Dane, Snoop. On Oct. 23, 2025, Dean reportedly brought Snoop to Cobb County Animal Services, claiming he’d found the dog as a stray near a Walgreens on Canton Road. But Snoop’s condition told a different story. Severely emaciated, his ribs and bones jutted out—no fat, barely any muscle. A cruelty exam scored Snoop at 1/9 on the body condition scale. He weighed just 50 pounds. After care, he reached 107 pounds with no medical issues causing the weight loss. Dean was arrested Jan. 5 and released the next day on a $10,000 bond.

Break: INGLES 7 STORY 4: Where the sidewalk ends: Mableton mayor talks SPLOST goals Mableton Mayor Michael Owens has his sights set on two big priorities: public safety and economic growth. And with the upcoming vote on a 1% special sales tax (SPLOST), he sees a chance to make it happen. If approved, the 2028 SPLOST would bring $97.6 million to Mableton—its first time creating its own project list since becoming a city in 2022. For Owens, it’s a defining moment. Top of the list? Sidewalks. “It’s the one thing everyone’s asking for,” Owens said, pointing to gaps along Veterans Memorial Highway and Nickajack Road. Parks, neighborhoods, and even businesses are disconnected, making walking unsafe—or impossible. But sidewalks are just the start. Owens envisions SPLOST funds going toward civic spaces, recreation centers, and even office parks to attract businesses. “You drive down Veterans Memorial, and it’s all shopping centers—no office buildings, no tech parks. That has to change,” he said. For Owens, the November vote is more than a tax—it’s a chance for Mableton residents to shape their city’s future. STORY 5: Marietta Police paint vibrant interrogation room for child witnesses, victims   The Marietta Police Department has turned one of its interview rooms into something truly special—a space designed with kids in mind. Gone are the cold, blank walls. In their place? A vibrant, hand-painted mural that feels more like a storybook than a police station. It’s colorful, calming, and, most importantly, comforting—created to help children, especially those who’ve experienced trauma, feel a little less scared during tough conversations. Marietta High School art teachers Amanda Rudolph and Katherine Robinson, along with students from the National Art Honor Society, poured their hearts into this project. The department’s goal? To make sure every child feels protected and heard. Break: STORY 6: Mableton earns recognition as environmentally friendly city    Mableton just snagged some serious recognition for going green. Mayor Michael Owens and city council members accepted the Silver-level Green Communities certification from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). It’s a big deal—proof that the city’s making real moves to cut its environmental impact. How’d they do it? Think tree preservation ordinances, a community composting program, expanded recycling, and even switching to a 100% electric vehicle fleet. Practical stuff with long-term impact. The certification also boosts Mableton’s chances for state and federal grants, meaning more investment without raising taxes. The Green Communities program evaluates cities on their environmental performance, and Mableton’s efforts earned them a spot among metro Atlanta’s leaders. But the work doesn’t stop here—the certification lasts four years, and the city will need to keep proving its commitment to stay certified. STORY 7: Senate bill would hold down property tax increases that fund Georgia schools  Georgia lawmakers are back at it, debating how to handle property taxes—and this time, they’re eyeing a cap tied to inflation. A new bill from Senate Republicans would force all school systems to limit property tax hikes, even as rising home values push assessments higher. Here’s the twist: last year, 71% of Georgia’s school systems voted to reject a similar cap. Why? Because it slashes funding for education. If this bill passes, schools would lose the ability to tax property values that outpace inflation, leaving them scrambling to cover costs. Sen. Chuck Hufstetler, the bill’s sponsor, argues it’s about fairness. The bill would also impact city and county governments that opted out of last year’s cap. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones called it a priority, saying it’s about “putting more money back in Georgians’ pockets.” Meanwhile, other tax proposals are swirling at the Capitol—like eliminating income taxes or ending homestead property taxes altogether. Gov. Brian Kemp? He’s pushing for tax rebates and a slight income tax cut. We’ll have closing comments after this.

The struggle over the legality of abortion has roiled the country for more than fifty years.

On the other, “pro-choice” advocates insist that abortion is medical care and that the decision of whether to terminate a Read More ›

Shannon and Michael open with controversy after an LA County Sheriff’s deputy’s Starbucks cup — marked with a pig drawing — led to an employee’s firing, followed by a discussion of the county’s push for so-called ICE- free zones and what that could actually mean. They’re joined by author and professor Maryellen MacDonald to discuss her book More Than Words and the real-world consequences of Gen Z avoiding verbal communication, from job searches to everyday interactions. The conversation explores how social anxiety has grown beyond shyness and why face-to-face contact now feels daunting for many young adults. The hour also includes Shannon’s brief sports therapy after a Chargers loss, reflections on social anxiety across generations, and practical advice from Michael’s teaching experience. They wrap with a lighter moment reacting to a Wall Street Journal story about parents going broke over their kids’ sushi habits — and the ease of judging parenting choices from the outside.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The songs of two common finches provide a steady soundtrack in cities across North America: the House Finch and the American Goldfinch. While they can sound similar, a couple of key features help set them apart. House Finches sing sweetly but often have a sharp, buzzy note near the end. Goldfinches sing rapidly, often repeating a note several times. They also often make their distinctive call, which sounds like someone quickly saying “potato chip!”Support for BirdNote is provided by Mary Pigott of Seattle, Washington — and generous listeners around the world. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Livestream chat, A gun goes click in a cramped Walmart loss prevention office—and everything that happens next becomes a quiet masterclass in officer safety, close-quarter decision-making, and restraint. We walk through the moment frame by frame: why a simple pat-down could have changed everything, how cooperation lulls even experienced cops into skipping steps, and why attacking the presented gun beat reaching for a holster when the room shrank to a few feet. Credit where it's due: an alert LP employee and quick-thinking officers likely prevented a deadly outcome. The charges? Think attempted murder—and think about the chain of small choices that got them there.From high-stakes to head-scratching, we unpack calls that shouldn't escalate. Sidewalk chalk that washes away isn't a public safety crisis; it's an opportunity to educate, warn, and move on. Same for plate frames and obstruction laws—if a reasonable person can read the state and number, straining the statute erodes trust and invites dropped cases. Sensible enforcement and clear laws do more for legitimacy than any press release. And when we talk about what truly protects kids, we draw a hard line: stop doxxing undercover units. Viral clout that outs ICAC teams doesn't “expose” anything—it teaches predators what to avoid and puts children at risk.We also analyze a Florida taser clip with nuance: back probes, clear commands, and post-compliance de-escalation suggest policy alignment, but necessity depends on context—paraphernalia risk, ground surface, suspect history, and officer fitness all matter. The recruiting debate lands where it should: set rigorous, relevant standards and hold everyone to them. Command presence flows from training, judgment, and team tactics, not height alone. If you want better policing, push for clear statutes, realistic training, and hiring that prioritizes character and skill—and use your voice. Body cams, de-escalation, crisis response, and pursuit reforms didn't appear out of nowhere; communities demanded them.If this breakdowsend us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comPeregrine.io: Turn your worst detectives into Sherlock Holmes, head to Peregrine.io tell them Two Cops One Donut sent you or direct message me and I'll get you directly connected and skip the salesmen.Support the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc *Send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.com

Despite having "won" the Cold War, maybe what American audiences needed to see was one more domino fall. ---------- Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Llewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, Mars Hottentot, Richard Bell, TakoTuesday, Joseph, and Knife Money ---------- Email: blackcasebookpod@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/BlackCasebook Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/blackcasebook.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackcasebookpod/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/blackcasebook/posts ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/cacomixpod.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collectiveactioncomics

ICYMI: Mobile City Councilman Beau Fleming joined Midday Mobile  and the conversation covered everything from why he ran to what's next for McGregor. Councilman Fleming, brand new to the District 5 seat, walked through the winding road that led him to public office. After volunteering on Mayor Stimpson's first campaign years ago, he knew he wanted to serve one day. That “one day” arrived the moment he heard longtime Councilman Joel Daves wouldn't seek re-election — a moment confirmed by rapid-fire phone calls from his wife and friends who knew he was built for the job. Once elected, Fleming said stepping into City Hall felt less like being tossed into the deep end and more like joining a team that knows how to guide newcomers. The council's staff, he said, has been phenomenal in helping him get his footing fast. On McGregor Avenue Yes, it's finally open — after two years of digging, rebuilding, replacing decades-old utilities, and keeping the neighborhood running above ground while crews worked below it. Fleming called the patience of McGregor residents “remarkable” and said the finished product was worth every slow detour. He also confirmed what many suspected: another McGregor project is coming. In 2026, work begins from Museum Drive to Spring Hill Avenue.  This one won't be a multi-year slog, but it will bring better sidewalks, refreshed lighting, cleaner crosswalks, and improved traffic flow into the Spring Hill corridor. Sidewalks, trees, and the eternal tug-of-war Fleming acknowledged Mobile's longstanding battle between beloved old trees and the sidewalks they tend to buckle. The city's urban forestry team is actively identifying dangerous or diseased trees, and he encouraged residents to report concerns through 311. On that surprise “unpaid rent” moment The newly discovered issue of the city not paying rent for office space in a county-owned building did not show up on Fleming's radar beforehand. He emphasized two priorities: • respecting taxpayer dollars • maintaining a productive city–county partnership He expressed confidence that Mayor Chérrygodus will negotiate a fair solution without locking the city into a bad long-term deal. More resurfacing, more neighborhood improvements, and more updates from District 5 are on the way — and Councilman Fleming says he's just getting started.

A symphony of raindrops patters gently onto a smooth sidewalk. The soft, rhythmic tapping blends with the faint splashes of water flowing along the pavement, creating a peaceful urban ambiance. This sound evokes the quiet beauty of a rainy day, ideal for relaxation or focusing the mind amidst a subtle, soothing rain.
