Happy birthday to us! Walk Bike Nashville was founded on November 10, 1998. Twenty-seven years later, we’re still working to make Nashville more walkable, bikeable, and livable. Here are some highlights from the last 27 years.
1999: Inaugural Walk to School Day
2004: Inaugural Tour de Nash

"Alternative Routing" is a synonym for "Not Our Priority"
But guys we already have this really awesome very direct alternative route that includes like a few feet of bike lanes

This chart always makes me think about how we made the streets "safer" by making sure no one goes outside ever, especially kids
once again posting The Chart

I'm a big fan of PHBs for major arterials.

They are NOT designed or intended for small streets, and they don't work well for pedestrians or drivers in these locations.
While thinking about our statement on this, I tried out the PHB on Demonbreun Hill. Here's what I found:

1. There's a 45-second delay before it even acknowledges your existence. After that you get about 30 seconds to cross.

2. Two drivers ran straight through the solid red lights.

The dream of a better East Bank should be bigger than a drive-thru daycare built because sidewalks aren't planned to be safe enough for kids.
Good news! They're putting a daycare in the first residential building on the East Bank at Shelby & 2nd!

Bad news - they are making parents drive their kids inside the parking garage for dropoff because it will be too dangerous to be on the sidewalk in our brand new pedestrian-friendly neighborhood

Go ahead, attempt to make eye contact, I double dog dare you
This driver came racing up being us at an illegal and unsafe speed, followed way too close & made me super nervous.

I checked my mirror and they were staring at their phone like this the entire time (including while driving close behind us).

Yesterday we delivered about 150 pumpkins to The TN Justice Center.

We are leaving the fundraiser open until Halloween to try & hit $1,000 for other community needs like rent assistance.

We need ~$400 more.

One of the highlights of this article for me was WalkBike doing this. I get why they probably didn’t advertise this much but also what a way to use the system to make the world better.

"Cars invade the city streets."

From the Montreal Museum of Archeology and History, describing the 1920s-1930s.

They lost their streetcars to traffic too.

However, there are multiple possible warrants for stop signs, including (1) where pedestrian movements support it and (2) based solely on engineering judgment.

Saying a stop sign on 3rd violates MUTCD but a PHB doesn't is simply not true.
