@ascentale @ClintonAnderson @bikenite #BikeNite A8. I mostly use #BikeTooter #bicycle #cycling #bicycling and #ebike, all of which are specific, but I also frequently use #urbanism #disability #accessibility #pedestrian #transportation and #transit, in conjunction with anything about #bicycles, because these are all related and intersectional.
Haven't seen this before, and certainly nothing so useful in US. #crosswalk #pedestrian #WalkSignal

"Billion dollar sidewalk funding program passes council committee" by BikePortland - Portland city council committee recommends approval of measure to fund constructing sidewalks in large areas of East & Southwest #Portland. Homes and neighborhoods were grandfathered-in around sidewalk requirements if they already existed when they were annexed into the city. In the 1980s, Portland annexed neighborhoods east to the border of Gresham. https://bikeportland.org/2025/03/24/billion-dollar-sidewalk-funding-program-passes-council-committee-393554 #walking #pedestrian #PNW

“It’s so dumb that I have to worry about this”
“researchers note that other countries’ #pedestrian fatality rates are going down. Ours is really not”
“Too often we instead treat #walkability as a marketing feature rather than a survival one”
#Walking Shouldn’t Be So Dangerous in the U.S.
About 20 people die every day in the U.S. after being hit by a car. To make #walking safer, we need a big cultural shift in how we view #pedestrian #safety

Yeah Mayor Adams, what's the point in promoting a #pedestrian walkway in the midst of #NO2 #pollution from #cars off the charts on #AccuWeather and people not being able to #breathe? https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/14/mayor-adams-abruptly-calls-off-planned-queensboro-bridge-pedestrian-path-opening?utm_content=buffer2b740&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer #EricAdams #climate #climatecrisis
Bizzare #vandalism - someone has taken the effort to climb a light column on #pedestrian refuge in middle of the village and obscure keep left #sign with grey paint (they have also done the same to smaller sign on the #bollard, can't be seen in photo due to darkness). Seems more sociopathic than normal #graffiti (maybe someone pissed off the refuge is there in first place, it discourages speeding through the village, or angry that the local Speedwatch have put up a camera nearby?) #Suffolk
Via NIXLE: AB 413 became state law January 1, 2025- making it illegal to park within 20 feet (approximately 1 car length of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk. This law applies regardless of if the curb is marked or not.
Anecdotally, I can't recall ever seeing #pedestrian traffic in #manhattan as busy as it is today during any prior month of February.
I believed that the longer #congestionpricing remained in effect, the more data would support it. But it's increasingly looking like *all* data will support it, not some.
As the new US federal government continues to signal that it sees buying and burning petroleum as the only valid form of transportation, walking and biking become even more political acts.
wear boots though, pedestrian infrastructure on Bank St.is challenging.
Today I learned (thanks to research for an urban planning paper I'm working on) that the ancient city of Pompeii had curbstones, elevated pedestrian walkways, and curb cuts.
Reminder: Mt Vesuvius erupted and buried the city in the year 79 CE.

"The design of the roads plays a large role, particularly in the way that cars are prioritized over more vulnerable road users."
