our crossing guards do mission impossible and I am so thankful for all of them, but JFC the fact that we need "Guards" to simply ensure drivers don't run over school children?
This is what is so twisted about our auto obsessed culture that we don't even see how we've completely normalized this.

Never understood why uber-wealthy neighborhoods don’t typically have sidewalks, particularly in Ca. Makes you wonder if the Heavens Gate cult would’ve ended up differently if Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego was less isolated and more walkable/bikeable.

Good catch! I'm not familiar with this area at all, and just went off the numbering the resolution.

Sort of. Depending on how much road they are repaving and what type of treatment, $50k is one heck of a deal for paving your street. I assumed the city was covering the additional cost with GF funds.

Fun Fact: This home is located on the "Uplands Extension", where the neighbors "donated" $50,000 to the city to resurface the street leading to their homes.

One thing I’ve found to be convincing are illustrations of what you want the street to look like. Pictures really do speak 1000 words. My wife created a visualization of a Slow and Low Traffic zone for a demo project we want to propose.

Yes, “traffic engineering” (still questioning whether this is a real profession).

And this doesn’t even get to merchant opposition yet, which is arguably harder to overcome.

FD, evac, EMS and delivery access needs to be maintained, while simultaneously limiting private car access somehow. Circulation changes would need to be accounted for as well. I’d love to see an example in the US that worked well though.

Yes, I think a “bus-only pedestrianized street” could work, and what Telegraph for People is advocating for on upper Telegraph in Berkeley. It’s a significant engineering challenge though.

AC Transit would have something to say about that, but certainly we could limit private vehicles

I think Rose from Live Oak to Hopkins might be better. It serves Live Oak on one end and Cedar-Rose Park on the other, plus four schools (Madeleine, King, Crowden and Acty). It’s a major youth corridor and intersects Milvia, California and Ohlone bike paths. It’s also now a speedway and car sewer.

The irony here is that the traffic post, while clearly installed with break-away technology, seems to have provided *some* stopping power, since the elderly victim survived.
Break away objects themselves are deadly objects, like the fire hydrant that killed Marvin Boomer in Oakland.
