Let’s make it happen @cityofoakland.bsky.social
PAINT AIN'T INFRASTRUCTURE
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

We haven't needed any more case studies on pedestrianisation since 1962.
One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

America's monstrous pickups and SUVs are staggeringly ridiculous, and dangerous. The rest of the world manages quite fine with smaller vehicles, including for trades and business. Go to a US supermarket parking lot and half of the parked vehicles are massive pickups carrying just one person. Stupid.
“A review of scientific research has found that pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV or light truck, compared to a passenger car.

The outlook is even more dire for children, who are 82% more likely to be killed when struck by the larger vehicles.”
Research shows SUVs and utes are the most deadly vehicles
SUVs and large utes are among the most popular vehicles for car buyers in Australia. They may also be the most deadly.

Hey @cityofoakland.bsky.social — can we get an app that lets citizens take photos of double parked cars and delivery trucks so you can actually issue citations? Would help balance the city’s budget! #oakland

Hey @buffywicks.bsky.social - I’m afraid a republican is going to win the governorship if we don’t fix the IOUs rampant rate inflation: www.linkedin.com/pulse/califo...
California needs to rethink how it incentivizes EV adoption, and quickly!
California has some of the highest rates of EV penetration in the U.S.
