Based on 1 survey, Seville, Spain built a 50 mile protected bike network in 18 months

Durham's 2016 Satisfaction survey listed Bicycle Facilities as the no.3 biggest dissatisfaction
In 2017 it was no.2
When are we going to build that #ProtectedNetwork?

A couple of guys in Cincinnati chalk painted "bird cages" around the city to show how easy it could be to manage dockless e-scooter "clutter" #tacticalurbanism https://t.co/QYkifhhVM4

The @gatesfoundation started charging employees $15/day to park at work. Their drive-alone rates plunged from 90% in 2008 to 34% in 2016. Charging for parking by the day, not by the month, is the key. https://t.co/sL5ykaqxHP

A young woman was killed this weekend in Cleveland riding an e-scooter (not a Bird). The driver who killed her was reportedly high on heroin.

This should be a wakeup call for cities. Half measures on safe streets just won't cut it anymore. https://t.co/wSLiFH4lgJ

"Sidewalks are the Last Commons—a rare surviving patch of urban space where people are allowed to just exist." @CityLab https://t.co/4jvW6ByY9T

"Not only did jaywalking laws take rights away from pedestrians, it also insulted them." Great piece by our friend Jim Sallis who reminds us of the history of "jaywalking"- https://t.co/AJpTjauFWh

[PeopleForBikes @peopleforbikes]

"Fundamentally, it begins with building safe infrastructure." https://t.co/JLMcMw4JPS

[America Walks @americawalks]

One way to combat climate change- reduce car trips. That means making active transportation accessible and available to all. https://t.co/DwxPObf0cZ

[Mike Lydon (mikelydon.bsky.social) @MikeLydon]

“The fundamental reason why a dense network of small streets out-performs a sparse hierarchy of [wide] streets is that streets become less (not more) efficient as their size increases." https://t.co/JK8Ksn6RZk

[League of American Bicyclists @BikeLeague]

Is your state one of the 35 states that have safe passing laws? We have developed a white paper to help advocates in the other 15 states pursue #safepassing legislation.
