It took me 25 years to realise that that most of the clutter on our streets is only there for the management and facilitation of motoring. Unfortunately the rise of electric vehicles is adding even more of it. The photo hints at a couple of issues. First is a lack of charging infrastructure for people without off-street parking. EV kit added to lighting columns is perhaps useful for slow charging, but no good where (like here) columns are nicely out of the way of pedestrians. If we are going to have other on-street chargers, then they can go in the carriageway, but that also cements kerbside use for car parking. We can deploy channels in the footway so people can run a cable (slightly) under the footway, but it's another little bump across the footway and objectively makes walking a tiny bit less comfortable. The second issue pushes this because, of course, home charging is popular because it is much cheaper than on-street and commercial charging. I don't have a universal answer and I doubt there is one, but where was it decided that car refuelling should be moved from the private forecourt to the public street and why should highway authorities have to take on another responsibility (even in part)? I suspect that in common with the last 100 years of motoring, we now have a fait accompli to deal with. #ThursdayThoughts

For anyone in the business of promoting sustainable and active travel, the very real possibility of pavements of our neighbourhoods starting to look more and more like this because of pavement charging is a terrifying prospect. Many councils advise against laying an electric car charging cable across the pavement but generally, charging EVs on a public roads is permitted "as long as cables don't obstruct the footway or any access areas". Some EV owners may ignore the safety and accessibility issues of pavement charging caused to others, (such as pedestrians tripping and causing injuries or wheelchair users / prams not being able to get by) and the direct legal responsibilities, implications and liability to personal injury claims. At the moment there are no legal restrictions in place but, under the Highway Act, councils do have the power to remove any cables they think are in unsuitable locations. The Local Government Association (LGA) advises that electric car charging cables should only run over pavements or footways when the vehicle is charging and that they should be removed as soon as possible. In Norfolk, EV owners wishing to 'pavement charge', need to apply for permission from Norfolk County Council to run a charging cable across footpaths and pavements. Each application will be assed separately by highways officers for the need and suitability of the location. When given, permission will be then temporary due to the ongoing installation of new public chargepoints in residential areas. https://lnkd.in/e--QA8jd Some Councils are also trialling new through-pavement channels and gullies like 'Kerbo', 'gul-e', 'Pavecross' or 'Chargegully' to run charging cables across pavements safely.

CPKC will open Dallas Vehicle Compound and Increases Rail Traffic: Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) is opening a new 12-hectare finished vehicle compound in Wylie, Texas (located outside Dallas, TX) at the end of June as part of its overall investment of $275m in capacity enhancements between Chicago, Illinois and Laredo, Texas. The vehicle yard will form part of CPKC’s closed loop rail service for finished vehicles between Canada, the US and Mexico. Kansas City Southern opened a terminal in the Wiley Logistics Park in 2015, which was expanded in 2018, and became part of the merged company when CPKC was formed in 2023. “This compound is part of our playbook that unlocks an entirely new supply chain model for the OEMs, giving them the service, reliability and capacity certainty like they’ve never seen before,” said John Brooks, executive vice-president and chief marketing officer of CPKC in the rail provider’s Q1 earnings call. “I’m proud to report that this new compound is largely sold out, and will handle many of the top selling vehicles within the Texas market.” Keith Creel, president and CEO of the company, said the Wylie yard would provide a destination for vehicles shipping out of Ontario, Canada, rather than them shipping to Chicago as is current. “It’s going to create empty supply to go down to Mexico and lengths of haul that today perhaps stop at Laredo or Robstown are going to be going to Minneapolis/St. Paul, or going to Canada,” said Creel in the earnings call. “This thing is a multiple chapter story. We’re not going to get it built out overnight. It’s a two, three, four, five-year plan. That in and of itself that one business unit offers significant, I think, accretive incremental improvements to driving that length of haul.” Creel also pointed out that there are “thousands of carloads” moving by road between US south-eastern markets on Highway I-20 parallel to the Meridian Speedway, a 510km span of railroad track between Shreveport, Louisiana and Meridian, Mississippi. “Those are ripe for opportunities – rail wins, the environment wins, competition wins; this is all a good story,” he said. Along with the Dallas/Wylie railyard, CPKC has identified further capacity projects in Mexico and on the second span of the International Bridge at Laredo. https://lnkd.in/d88FrHWT
