Hartford Streets

We organize monthly happy hours and hack nights to make Hartford's streets safer. #CompleteStreets #VisionZero #HartfordSneckdown

Street analogy:

A car driver, bicycle rider and a pedestrian are sitting around a table, which has a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The car driver takes eleven of the cookies, then turns to the pedestrian and says "Watch out! That bicycle rider wants to steal your cookie." 🤔

@NickAddamo @UConn @FrontStDistrict @UConnHartford @TheiQuiltPlan @TransportHTFD That needs to be a raised crosswalk at the same height as the sidewalk. Show drivers that people on foot are the boss here.

@dbnarz @NickAddamo @UConn @FrontStDistrict @UConnHartford @TheiQuiltPlan @TransportHTFD That whole development came so close, but so far away for pedestrians and bike riders. Disappointing.

@NickAddamo @UConn @FrontStDistrict @UConnHartford @TheiQuiltPlan @TransportHTFD @HFDstreets There used to be a crosswalk that crossed Prospect Street and connected to the back of City Hall. When they did road work a couple of months ago they paved over the markings in the road and never repainted them. They should add it back.

Hartford wins awards, but New Haven designs it’s spaces for people. https://t.co/eYuiyhAhFy

Happy 380th birthday, New Haven! Your progressive street design, bus lanes, bike lanes, and crosswalks keep you looking fresh and new. The gold standard for urban design in Connecticut’s cities! 🎂🎁🎉🚸🚲

Awards are great. Drivers who stop for people walking are greater. Cops who actually enforce against scofflaw drivers are the greatest. https://t.co/lFHW1GZWea

Hartford is a @WalkFriendly Community! Praise given to Complete Streets ordinance & zoning code (thanks @CoHEcoDev & @sarabronin!), sidewalk coverage (thanks @HartfordDPW!), local partnerships w/ @TheiQuiltPlan, & regional partnerships with Capitol Region Council of Governments: https://t.co/fIpo7jLDqs

Live from the Wethersfield Avenue bike lane. It doesn't help that the downtown-bound bike lane is as wide as a parking lane - it could use a painted buffer.

[21st Century City @urbanthoughts11]

Still a no-brainer.
But it needs to be repeated as often as possible.

For our most recent mission we put up these signs at intersections on Flushing Avenue with no cross traffic. #bikenyc

Love the new signage, @HartforddotCom! Let 'em know that @HFDstreets are for pedestrians too.

Again; Move people, not vehicles.

Thinking about creating a new citywide plan? Here are the top 10 keys to a great plan I developed for @Abbotsforward: http://t.co/xKlKS8msrA

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

Cycle tracks provide freedom & mobility to those who need it most: kids, teens, the elderly & less able. A city without them lacks equality.

Just block road for cars like they block bike path;

.@FedEx and @UPS seemingly un-caring about pedestrians with disabilities and in wheelchairs.

Hey @NYPDnews we see you. If you come here tomorrow to ticket bikes I will make sure you get nothing. CARS ARE THE PROBLEM. #bikenyc
