William Phelps Eno, often referred to as the "Father of Traffic Safety," was an American businessman and innovator who played a pivotal role in the development of early road safety and traffic control measures. Despite never learning to drive a car himself, Eno's contributions have had a lasting impact on the way we navigate our streets and cities. Here are some highlights of his life and work: - Born: June 3, 1858, in New York City. - Education: Attended Hopkins Grammar School, Williston Academy, and graduated from Yale University in 1882. - Innovations: Credited with creating the stop sign, pedestrian crosswalk, traffic circle, one-way street, taxi stand, and pedestrian safety islands. - Traffic Plans: Developed the first traffic plans for major cities like New York, London, and Paris. His rotary traffic plan was implemented at Columbus Circle in New York City in 1905, at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris in 1907, and at Piccadilly Circus in London in 1926. - Publications: Wrote the first-ever manual of police traffic regulations and authored "Rules of the Road" in 1903. - Legacy: Founded the Eno Transportation Foundation in 1921 to promote improvements in transportation and traffic management. Eno passed away on December 3, 1945, in Norwalk, Connecticut, but his legacy continues to influence modern transportation and traffic systems around the world. #inspirationalquote #motivationalquote #wisdomquotes #lifelesson

"These days, it has become popular to denigrate and attack California as a dilapidated wasteland of empty luxury condos full of squatters and lawless gangs group-robbing stores as the forests burn to the roots." But the reality is more complex. I contemplate that complexity in my latest contribution to the Phoenix Business Journal, some further musings after I took the long way home from Flagstaff. What are your thoughts on California's historical successes and the cost of that success, and how Arizona can benefit from both? https://lnkd.in/dWa56C5K

This week, Jo Dine is our second and final Lewis Center Fellow focused on #transportation🚦 “Even when pilots seem to have promising results, there often is not a plan in place for long-term funding and operations,” says Jo, who is partnering with SCAG to evaluate transportation pilot projects and determine best practices for supporting their long-term viability.

Thousands of politicians, delegates and members of the news media are descending on Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention. The big picture: Out-of-towners and people hosting visitors might be wondering what to do outside the convention commotion and pop-up parties. -Though there are plenty of city guides out there, many have the same, predictable ideas for restaurants, museums and tours. Here are some suggestions: What they'll tell you to do: Take the architecture tour on the Chicago River. Yes, it's great. One of the city's top tourist attractions, it does not disappoint. What you should do instead: Skip the lines (and the cost) and take the Chicago Water Taxi to Chinatown. Same beautiful skyline without the guided tour. The cost: $10. What they'll tell you to do: Eat deep-dish pizza. Listen, Chicago is a great pizza town, but Chicagoans love to argue about what kind of pizza town it is. What you should do: Skip the deep-dish. It will weigh you down for hours and, frankly, won't travel well back to the hotel. Tavern-style is Chicago's favorite. We suggest hitting up Pat's in Lincoln Park or, if it's Tuesday night, hop over to Logan Square for Middle Brow's special thin-crust specials. Some practical advice for out-of-towners: -Chicago is a bike-friendly city. Take a Divvy! But don't ride it on the sidewalk. Unless you are 12 years old or younger, you will piss people off. Also, don't throw the bike in the lake. -Don't mistake Chicago for California. Though pedestrians have the right of way, stopping at crosswalks is a relatively new concept for drivers here. So take caution when stepping out into traffic. If you want to be a real Chicagoan, wave the car past and walk when the traffic is clear. #chicago #guide #politicians #convention #democratics #visitors
