Thomas GuerreroThere are few things that feel as liberating as standing in a "still closed to cars" street after a public event.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/yyj" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yyj</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/victoriabc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#victoriabc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/streetsforpeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetsforpeople</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/chinesenewyear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chinesenewyear</a>

Zack Subin 🏳️‍🌈After heroic legislative efforts to finally get speed cameras to SF, I was disheartened to read it will be years before we see them on a small number of streets. Please sign this petition to get the SFMTA to roll these out faster: <a href="https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/speed-cameras-2023-10" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/speed-cameras-2023-10</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sfbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#sfbike</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StreetsForPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StreetsForPeople</a>

Gladwyn d’Souza<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KeelingCurve" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#KeelingCurve</a> accelerating through <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/VisionZero" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#VisionZero</a>: 40% of the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cars</a> on that block exceeded the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/speed" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#speed</a> limit... But by DDOT’s standards, this level of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/speeding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#speeding</a> was insufficient to require <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/trafficcalming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#trafficcalming</a>, particularly in the face of uncertain <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#community</a> support. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StreetsForPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StreetsForPeople</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/20sPlenty" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#20sPlenty</a> <a href="https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023/8/29/heres-what-it-takes-to-get-speed-humps-approved-on-just-one-block" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023/8/29/heres-what-it-takes-to-get-speed-humps-approved-on-just-one-block</a>

Zack Subin 🏳️‍🌈I’ve decided that door zone bike lanes often feel less safe than no paint at all. They encourage drivers to feel entitled to the whole car lane, and if I ride in the edge of the bike lane outside the door zone, drivers are prone to rage and honk or pass closely. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SFBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SFBike</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StreetsForPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StreetsForPeople</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#urbanism</a>

Zack Subin 🏳️‍🌈The U.S. is an outlier in failing to make road safety improvements. Pedestrians and people of color bear the brunt due to street design that prioritizes moving cars through neighborhoods rather than people living in them.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#urbanism</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StreetsForPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StreetsForPeople</a> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/26/opinion/road-deaths-racial-gap.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/26/opinion/road-deaths-racial-gap.html</a>

Zack Subin 🏳️‍🌈State governments have the power to make or break US <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/transportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#transportation</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ClimatePolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ClimatePolicy</a>. Investing in more highway expansions will make things WORSE; instead, they should use both federal and state money to support climate-friendly public and active transportation.And it's not just about 💰. If states reform rules prioritizing space for cars over people, the money will go a lot farther.Check out our new RMI article. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/yimby" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#yimby</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StatePolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StatePolicy</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#urbanism</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StreetsForPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StreetsForPeople</a> <a href="https://rmi.org/states-will-determine-the-future-of-us-transportation/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://rmi.org/states-will-determine-the-future-of-us-transportation/</a>
