Now, if I were orange county, I'd recognize this as the literal perfect opportunity to sneak the Centerline back into play. Build a two-station shuttle between ARTIC and Disneyland, and then everything else becomes just an extension - a bit more politically palatable.
Anaheim exploring ways to connect sports venues and Disneyland, but no concrete solution yet
The city of Anaheim is continuing a yearslong process to connect its two main tourist hubs via improved public transportation, including, among other options, an aerial gondola system between the H…

I'm convinced that a majority of our social problems come back to cars.

Infrastructure should be designed based on safety using data, not vibes.
My city council representative said last night at CC meeting that red light cameras will decrease public safety by making people mad. 🫠

My 45 minute bus commute became 20 minutes on my bike. I never had the intention of becoming so involved in the bike activism space…but when you make the decision to ride your bike as your main method of transportation (for environmental, health, financial, or speed reasons), you’re forced to.

Kids know what our leaders don’t: Painted bike lanes aren’t safe, so they ride on sidewalk.
The decision makers don’t bike or walk anywhere.

Putting aside their ineffectiveness, I feel the need to survey the average driver on what they think a sharrow is, and I’m being genuine. I think most people understand that all road markings mean *something*, so what do they think that particular one means?

bike infra is so cheap compared to car infra, that this is basically all it takes
It’s law in my state that 1% of every dollar spent on road improvements goes to bike infrastructure. It’s called the bike bill, and it’s the reason Portland is one of the most bike friendly cities in America. Other states should look into it.

Center turn lanes have become a major pet peeve. They’re everywhere. Pure evidence that we’re wasting space just because we can.
Truly amazing how much street space in SoCal is spent on center turn lanes, even on low volume residential streets.
After weeks of repaving work, C Street was restriped from three car lanes down to two car lanes and a bike lane in each direction!

Drivers: no time to slow down behind bicyclists, but plenty of time to completely stop in the middle of the street to yell at them.

Noticing a trend lately of drivers laying on their horn behind me but refusing to make eye contact when they pass or we end up at a stop light, or waiting quietly behind me at a light, then cursing at me as they turn and speed away. Like, if you’re gonna harass bicyclists, have some backbone.

Bike lanes and narrower roads: The County of Orange is considering two amendments to its Transportation Element to accommodate bike lanes, plan for less wide roads, and remove a planned road altogether. Always appreciate plans that don't just say "more room for cars."
