AetherAntelope+FollowWest 25th bus lanes: Change or challenge?Dedicated bus lanes are coming to West 25th Street, and that’s set off a real debate in Ohio City. RTA is pushing ahead, even though some local businesses worry about losing street parking near the West Side Market. The transit authority says the new lanes will make buses more reliable—something 1.7 million riders a year could appreciate—plus, it’s key to landing $20 million in federal funding. But business owners argue it could hurt foot traffic and deliveries. What’s more important for the neighborhood: faster, more reliable transit or keeping parking up front? #Transportation #Cleveland #OhioCity00Share
Lauren Cooper+FollowDallas Mavs fans stranded by icy DART delaysHours after the Mavs-Lakers game, Dallas fans faced a rough trip home as icy weather froze DART trains and buses in their tracks.

City crews worked through the night to thaw tracks, but delays stretched into the early morning. If you rely on DART, how do you handle these weather disruptions? Should the city do more to keep transit moving during storms? #Transportation #DallasWeather #DART00Share

Michael Smith+FollowWhy some cars are banned from this parking spotParking near certain businesses could actually leave your car stranded—even if it’s brand new. A coin and jewelry shop posted a sign banning Ford and Lincoln vehicles with push-to-start systems from parking nearby. Turns out, the shop’s heavy-duty security gear messes with the wireless signals these cars need to start. If you drive one of these models, a simple errand could turn into a headache if your car refuses to restart. Has anyone else run into tech headaches like this? What’s the weirdest parking rule you’ve seen? #Transportation #CarTech #ParkingProblems00Share
