with the laser focus on climate change, in my experience some of the biggest internal barriers to effective energy sector advocacy were precisely those long time volunteers, who were skeptical of clean energy development and often privileged local or aesthetic concerns over systemic thinking

Two children died in separate crashes on SD streets late last month. Unfortunately, tragedies like these are not uncommon. Still our elected officials are not prioritizing safety. Join us in telling our elected officials to Stop Deaths on Our Streets: circulatesd.good.do/stopdeaths/VZ/

With our 3rd annual Gears & Cheers fundraiser only 2 days away, we have to thank the incredible sponsors who make our work possible. Foundations, businesses, organizations, and many individuals are together in this fight to make San Diego a safer place to bike for all ages and abilities. Thank you!

From an Egis presentation at CUTA yesterday about integrating bike infras and trams.

The French do multi-phase pedestrian crossing, and that's why they can have absolute priority and we can't.

Also: their TSP philosophy is fundamentally different >>>

bsky.app/profile/heyj... Rode this project back in February with people who had varying levels of confidence, led by bike/ped professionals. E/W routes are a challenge in north county coastal, this one is vital.
All 3 options keep the protected bikeway though 1 proposal converts the uphill (e/b) side to paint-buffered bike lane where protection is needed most due to speed differentials.

~$3M avg for these 3 alts, that’s a lot of money to add a 2-way left turn lane and reorient the parking stalls.

Meanwhile, in the far-left progressive bastion of ... entire State of Utah:

"The plan shows 3,100 miles of paths. The network would come within a mile of 95% of Utahns, connect to 33 school campuses, 31 state/national parks, and 74 high-capacity transit stations."

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

With improvements on parallel streets added too, I think it’s a good example of the network approach to corridor planning (probably helped avoid opposition too). Presentation and Report from the time details lots of work done www.slideshare.net/slideshow/bi...

An abortion ban pushed me toward abortion

Unbelievably tragic piece about all the crossing guards injured or killed on the job in the US.

One school district in South Carolina has had 4(!) crossing guards hit or killed on the job.

These are people trying to fix the problems caused caused by traffic engineers, and are dying doing it.

Quite a middle act in this video, Ray is routed onto 6-lane Harbor Dr. because bikes are prohibited from parallel parking lots & Embarcadero (Segment 1 of Bayshore Bikeway!)

We see a faded Class III bike route sign, posted speed limit of 25, but 40 markings still visible indicate the design speed.

Even the federal MUTCD guidance is that construction signs should not block bikeways or sidewalks, & yet it’s still extremely common.

So many cities are sticklers for the MUTCD in justifying worse outcomes for biking/walking, but forget about it when it might help those modes.
