#Brussels
Vu que nous avons déménagé récemment, on a plein de caisses à donner (une dizaine), dont des caisses à banane. Une pièce quasiment remplie.
Est-ce que quelqu’un les voudrait ? Si oui, hésitez pas à me faire signe, ce serait à venir chercher au nord d’Anderlecht, facilement accessible depuis le R0 si vous avez besoin d’une voiture, arrêt de la STIB et De Lijn à 100m de la maison. Dans quelques jours je mettrai une annonce sur 2ememain.be, mais priorité à vous. ☺️

In #Brussels, history and innovation meet at the Bourse!
A symbol of the 19th century, the former stock exchange was carefully restored with €18 million of EU funding to become a lively public space.
The main hall is now an important link in the city centre.
It offers spaces for exhibitions and attractions such as Belgian Beer World and the Bruxella 1238 archaeological site.
As per our #EU sustainability targets, its restoration achieved a remarkable 30% cut in energy consumption.

The makeover of all this intensely used public space is paired with a new mobility plan, with several new one way streets to limit through traffic. Plans are not perfect, but will be a major step forward for this part of #Brussels ... #waitandsee if the local dinosaurs will allow it to happen #welovegoodmove

The redesign of #Brussels own #ParkAvenue is part of the same permit. The street is to get extra trees, some cycle infrastructure and more comfortable tram and bus stops. Famous Friterie de la Barrière can stay...


Barrière de #StGilles is one of the most infamous places in terms of #mobility in #Brussels. A complete makeover is coming up: #trams will cross the roundabout instead of going around, safer pedestrian crossings, some green, no more traffic lights or cobblestones. Detailed plans are available here: https://openpermits.brussels/fr/_13/PFD/1903271

The bulk waste collection is going on in #Brussels. So I started rummaging through the container & the worker says “can I help you?”
It’s obvious in this situation they really don’t want to help. They’re looking to bounce me. I said “no, just looking for a printer”. They said: it’s all kaput & kinda waived to move me along. I probably should have stood my ground but I think dumpster diving is forbidden. They were actually being polite.
It’s a lousy system. Dumpster diving should be encouraged.
Today is the day. More than 130 young people arrive in #Brussels to discuss the state of the European Union.
Past attempts to listen to Europe's youth have neglected the Euro-realist proposition: A sensible middle way whereby the EU does less but better.

Earlier today in #SaintGilles #Brussels: Several #trams stuck on rue Moris because of one badly parked car. This happens almost every day on this stretch of lines 81-97, but change is around the corner. There is a plan to redesign the street with less on-street parking. Details can be found here: https://openpermits.brussels/fr/_13/PFD/1900200

🇧🇪 In just over a year, #Brussels has cut traffic in its centre by 27%.
🥕 They have invested in new #cycling routes to work with excellent #PublicTransport.
🛑 And also made it harder to drive through the city centre.
✅ That's how it's done!

EU travelling friends: would anybody like some tickets for the public transport in Brussels?
I found these 3 multi-journey tickets, which between them have 10 rides left. I'm not sure if they are still valid (they're a few years old).
Happy to post them out!

Brussels shows how quickly an autocentric city can remake itself.
In less than two years:
🔹 Biking ⬆️ 36%
🔹 Motor vehicle traffic ⬇️ 27%
Car-choked cities are a policy choice -- not an inevitability.

Do I have followers from #Brussels or who have recently travelled through Brussels Midi? I'm trying to arrange a meeting spot in the station and I'm not sure if "the zebra horse statue outside Pret" is still a thing (I have seen various stories of it being moved and/or the entire Pret being moved).

@mrchrisadams Use the #brussels hashtag so that people in Brussels actually see your post :)
Dunno if this will work with fediverse social media instead of twitter, but here goes:
I’m in #Brussels / #bruxelles for a week on holiday (staying around Saint Gilles) and my MacBook charger just died. So, I’m looking for a 60W USB-C charger to replace it. I’m not bothered about it being an Apple charger.
In Berlin there is almost nowhere open on a Sunday - is it the same for da Brux? All the Mediamarkt stores seem to be closed 😅
@simon_brooke I agree. Providing bike lanes in cities is still highly effective and a good way to have people abandon cars without pressuring public transportation too much. Here in Belgium, we see this rapid change in cities like #Brussels or #Namur, that missed the infrastructure boost towards bikes of the 70’s that the mostly flat Netherlands and Flanders set up. E-bikes make every road flat and that’s, to me, the biggest game changer.
See #OpenStreetMap Belgium’s blog post about Stéphane De Greef achieving a 360° cycling journey through every #Brussels street, effectively cycling 4500 km and taking 600,000 360° pictures over two years to create an invaluable source of street level imagery available on #Mapillary and soon on a #Panoramax instance.

The #coop which owns the #EuropeanSleeper company is raising 3 M€ in capital to fund the #NightTrain service from #Brussels to #Barcelona and #Prague.
I bought a few shares because their success would help me #StayGrounded. (Also, how cool is it to own a #train [lease, fraction of]?)
It's a high risk investment. No profits expected for years with favourable track prices. No membership/voting rights under 26 k€ invested. Check bylaws etc. in "legal" and "community" tabs.

In Europe, budget airlines make inter-city travel ridiculously cheap. They also boost pollution and emissions.
European Sleeper, which started its #Brussels- #Amsterdam- #Berlin service last week, is hoping to replace flights by convincing people to switch to night trains.
'Negotiations' for the UK to rejoin the #Horizon research programme continue.... #JeremyHunt's in #Brussels trying (again) to get a discount because we've missed the first two years of the new programme.
Problem is that we caused that delay not the EU, and the feeling at the #EuropeanCommision is that they're not going to offer a discount because the UK can't get its ducks in a row.
Meanwhile #universities are hemorrhaging #researchers departing for somewhere they *can* get Horizon money now!
