Accelerating conversations about human-centred urban mobility and planning in Providence and beyond 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️👩‍🦽🛴

Simple street transformations that work.

Rush hour on South Water @PVDMayor won’t do a traffic study because he knows the data does not support adding an extra lane to this street.

We LOVE you PVD Bike Jam! How’s this for some “under-utilised” bike lanes, Mr Mayor????? @PVDMayor

Count the number of bikes on this video, this is how many votes you are losing for removing the South Water bike lane!

Dedicated and protected bike infrastructure 😍

[Brown Urban Mobility Project @bumproject]

So this happened recently…

@RINewsToday the purpose of daylighting is to discourage cars from parking too close to crosswalks and to increase pedestrian visibility and safety, besides making our streets look good

[Brown Urban Mobility Project @bumproject]

Thanks to the construction team that saw us making the streets cooler and safer and put some bollards out there to protect us!

[Brown Urban Mobility Project @bumproject]

Flags? Make them bricks, we say.

Certain crosswalks in North Providence now have an extra safety measure for pedestrians. https://t.co/qKmTM7pKCR

Yesterday afternoon, emergency services were called to a building on Clifford Street. We observed a fire truck drive up the bike lane because of car traffic and the ambulance. Great example of how two-way urban trails can improve emergency response, not prevent it.

@RINewsToday they don’t have to instinctively know what it is to unconsciously be influenced by it

[Brown Urban Mobility Project @bumproject]

@samdisaproves love you too!

[Brown Urban Mobility Project @bumproject]

BUMP’s up to some FISHY things! 🎨🐟

S. Water St is being presented at a @MassDOT innovation conference as an example of a Self-Enforcing Roadway - a street where design changes have reduced the need for police enforcement because of physical traffic calming.

@PVDMayor's plan would undo this and move us backwards.

Young children riding bikes on the South Water Street urban trail. Let’s design streets that are family friendly and encourage kids to get outside and be active.

Cute little BUMP dinner last night 🥹

[Brown Urban Mobility Project @bumproject]

Providence deserves a mayor who believes in creating a riverfront that’s worth traveling *to* rather than one that’s as easy as possible to drive *through*

[Providence Streets Coalition 👟🚲🚌🛴♿🚗🌲 @PVDStreets]

Go to South Water Street right now and you’ll find families, dogs, ice cream, and rollerblades. What you won’t find is a traffic jam. This is what it looks like when a public space works and is valued by the community. Providence needs more of these spaces, not one fewer.
