@HelenHeinrich1 There were some bike rental places, by the hour or day, but I haven’t kept up, so no current info. Definitely spend some time on the American River parkway trail.
@HelenHeinrich1 Yes, Lime operates the bike share system. Availability is pretty good in the central city, not outside. Maintenance is lacking, so give yourself time to get another bike if the first has problems. Kind of expensive, but that is the bike-share trend.
To date, we've funded over 23,000 projects, kick-starting repair of 4,600 bridges and improving almost 70,000 miles of roads.
Every week, shovels are hitting the ground around the country — and we're just getting started.
Intersection design ideas for the @CityofSacPW update of the Street Design Standards, with protected intersections and roundabouts. https://t.co/V4NJS314A6
Maybe it isn't the litter but the Caltrans freeways and roadways that is the real problem. A take-off on the "Let's Change This to That' greenwashing campaign. https://t.co/SdqCMPCtvu
This award-winning “complete street” redesign in Hyattsville, Maryland is just a deadly, greenwashed stroad. It doesn’t protect anyone outside an automobile and drivers routinely speed due to the design.
In 2021, a woman walking across it was fatally struck by an automobile.
966. That's the number of people killed while #biking in 2021, as reported by @NHTSAgov in its newly-released fatality data. It's the highest number in more than four decades. Benchmarking #bikedata like this is crucial for demanding #SafeStreetsForAll ➡️ https://t.co/NAyeyA8uHu
@OTS_CA@CaltransHQ@CHP_HQ Do you have any evidence that this sort of campaign reduces distracted driving? Or is this just another one of your efforts to divert attention from necessary redesign of roadways and automated speed enforcement?
"Across the 12 states, we found that minimizing further highway expansion was the most important lever to avoid putting upward pressure on transportation emissions." Great analysis from @Climate_Center@RockyMtnInst https://t.co/JL2Eg3jKuZ
@StrongTowns Engineers focus on mobility, moving at speed (for all users), and not about access, getting to where you want to go, which is often *across* the street, not along the street. I am glad that Strong Towns is delving into the failure of Complete Streets.
@StrongTowns I have long felt very uncomfortable with the Complete Streets concept, with my main criticism being that CS policies almost never address the frequency of safe *crossings* of streets. The focus has always been on travel along the corridor, and not across the corridor.
@trainfacts2022@alaina_pitt The sick irony here is that EMS and fire respond to vehicle crashes much more often than other emergencies or fire, so wide streets without calming provide more crashes that have to be responded to.
@rschauland Yep, the worst of the worst. No one wants to walk or bicycle here, no one wants to cross the street. The city is wasting money maintaining the excess width, width that could have been used for better purposes. Opportunity costs glaringly obvious.
