The previous Safe Routes to School crash infrastructure review (June 2025) recommended:
✔️continental (not zebra) crosswalks
✔️refreshed stop lines
✔️upgraded beg buttons
❓LED lighting
plus No Turn On Red (also required by the Safe Streets Act of 2023).
So now they'll need new recommendations.🤷

Make sure to bring books *to* your local little free libraries so there is room on your bookshelves for more books *from* your local little free libraries!
I found Paul Hawkins’ Ecology of Commerce in the little free library at our local Innovation Barn. It was such a good book!
Good morning to books you find in Little Free Libraries.

I really need to find time to read my copy of _Suburb_. I even brought it to the Netherlands with me, which isn't something I managed to do with many books, given everything had to fit in checked bags with weight limits.

We [try to] summarize each police crash report with a non-motorist in Montgomery County, Maryland. Each crash, every week. Who, what, when, where, how.
If you want to understand how crashes happen, so you can prevent them - then you have to start with the data.

Including 496 people on feet, 134 on bicycles, 38 on e-scooters.
16 people with fatal injuries, 73 with "serious" injuries, 548 with "possible" or "minor" injuries.
