Shout out to @milwaukeedpw for collecting speed data before and after their projects to show how new street designs are making our community safer! #SafetyOverSpeed

[Robert Schneider @PedBikeBob]

This is awesome news! Thanks to @milwaukeedpw for leading and bringing all the partners together to support this project.

[Kevin Muhs @kevinmuhs]

Let’s go y’all. A deserving corridor for this critical investment for so many reasons. Thanks to our Federal partners @USDOT @USDOTFHWA @SenatorBaldwin!

Safer streets.

For everyone.

“Traffic safety” has not always meant keeping children away from streets. It once meant making streets safe for children.

It’s not mobility progress if it degrades children’s safe and independent mobility.

Fourth of July 2024: Gordon Park, Riverwest, Milwaukee. Great park, people, and place. @cityofmilwaukee @CountyParks

[Peter Norton @PeterNorton12]

Door-to-door school bus routes, two-car families and chauffeured children did not become common because people preferred them. They were the costly consequence of decades of planning that presumed falsely that everyone drives a car.

@cgthigpen @dcdutchiedude @DrTaraGoddard @pkoonce Got my bike stolen from one of those at the College Park Metro station in 2002…but that led to my first date with my wife. So I have a very strange and great appreciation for that bad bike rack design.

@IsaacRowlett @MayorMKE @milwaukeedpw @MilwaukeeDCD Streets need to prioritize safety over automobile speed. This requires changes to how level of service and speed limit setting methods are applied by planners and engineers. And engagement is needed for the public to understand why these changes are being made. So it takes time.

[Robert Schneider @PedBikeBob]

Indeed…in Milwaukee. The President talked about a transformative complete streets project connecting neighborhoods with downtown. #CompleteStreets #ConnectingCommunities @MayorMKE @milwaukeedpw @MilwaukeeDCD https://t.co/nU7370zz0B

[Robert Schneider @PedBikeBob]

@IsaacRowlett @MayorMKE @milwaukeedpw @MilwaukeeDCD From a policy and planning standpoint, safe streets are already the norm: https://t.co/QHjWQOohfv. But it comes down to implementation of projects. Some street projects take 5+ years from conception to completion, so there is a time lag to seeing change. Also…

[Robert Schneider @PedBikeBob]

Leading cities create safer streets for people…and collect data to test how well new designs are working. Nice work, Milwaukee @milwaukeedpw. Really good @UrbanMilwaukee story on this. #SafeSpeeds #VisionZero

[Cavalier Johnson @CavalierJohnson]

Streets are for everybody and in Milwaukee, we’re making them:

🚶🏾‍♀️Easier for pedestrians
✋🏼Calmer for autos
🚴🏼‍♂️Friendlier for bikers

No matter how you get around the city, we won’t stop until it’s safer for everyone.

Join @rebeccalsanders and me at 1:30pm today @NASEMTRB #TRBAM Poster B701 & B702. We'll be talking about ways to improve pedestrian safety at night...including lower vehicle speeds at night. Sneak peak below!

In a raffle to raise funds for the City’s Combined Giving Campaign, Senior Transportation Planner Kate Riordan won Commissioner Kruschke’s parking spot for a week.

But, Kate never drives to work so she invited her fellow bike commuters to join her in parking their bikes there.

@dtloken I like the contrasting pavement better. Hope we test it in the US.

[Robert Schneider @PedBikeBob]

Nice to see Milwaukee and Shorewood work together to test a new street design that has been shown elsewhere to improve traffic safety. https://t.co/mzxTBM4q7j

[City of Milwaukee - DPW @milwaukeedpw]

This week, we’re resurfacing Edgewood Ave. from Oakland Ave. to Lake Dr. In addition to a newly resurfaced street, we're also installing the City’s first advisory bike lanes!

Learn about advisory bike lanes and how we’re evaluating them: https://t.co/X1JT4HabUj

[Kevin Muhs @kevinmuhs]

Can’t wait to extend this design all the way to downtown. Better streets that serve everyone are possible
