Durham Bicycle Boulevards is an urban network of bicycle priority streets. Urban Durhamites would never be more than 4 blocks from bike priority passage.
@MajorTheBull Most of this lot was wrapped in the Brightleaf deal. (A minority is wrapped in a complex family trust). Anyway, part of it is likely to have buildings on it sometime soon.
@rfrikard Endless #CommunityEngagement has resulted in what a Durham Manager referred to as “#ProgressiveParaysis”.
There is a point at which leaders need to cap the outreach and get on with the LEADING;
With the all-ages bike network in #Durham & #Raleigh, we are way past that point.
@maryannbaldwin@MassTransitLady Progress would include acknowledging failure here:
1) pass a motion that declares unprotected lanes on roads with speed limits over 25mph to be removed from being declared “infrastructure”, and
2) underscoring how little infrasutrue is left, call for a radical transformation.
21% reduction on reported crashes since the default speed was reduced to 20 mph on Seattle's residential streets. 2400 miles or 60% of our street network. Data is for all non-arterial linear street network.
@melton4raleigh ... you are 100% correct Jonathan. All of these things make biking harder in the city. And make biking infrastructure harder to implement.
