Great piece in @baltbeat that takes the time to interview West Baltimore community members organizing for themselves and future generations.

@SheilaDixonBalt @MayorBMScott @thiru4baltimore @RobertLWallace @moretrnstequity @CMTAlliance @TransitChoices @TheRealNews @jaisalnoor We were particularly glad to see @MayorBMScott and @thiru4baltimore emphatically back the complete streets ordinance and @SheilaDixonBalt walk back her previous discussion of a moratorium or repeal and express support.

Tonight some members were concerned about a lack of input on 28th Street. The project was a product of 7 years of public engagement and more than 40 public meetings.

Same members voted yes on Harborplace after <9 months of engagement.

28th Street is 0.02% the public cost.

We should be way ahead of so many of these cities, many of which have a much greater area to cover, and yet we have people that think we should halt what little progress we’re making.

I testified in support of Complete Streets in the fall, but here we are again, spending valuable time rehashing legislation that makes us safer. I hope the engineer @Nick_Mosby will take a smarter approach.

“Detroit, the great American city that had given birth to the automobile industry and the American middle class, is making a comeback. I confess to being impressed,” writes @fstockman.

We had a blast this morning joining @BaltFamilies, Friends of German Park, and Cafe Los Sueños on what we hope is the first of many family bike parties across The Big Jump.

The 28th Street Big Jump extension makes all-ages riding safe between Charles Village and Reservoir Hill.

Whether it’s Rosalynn Carter saving the lives of millions around the world, or Henry Kissinger actively working to kill just as many, recently departed public figures on both sides will be remembered as impactful.

People who ride bikes are more likely to be socially and politically engaged than people who drive, and have "a greater orientation towards the common good," a new study finds. @streetsblognyc explores. https://t.co/S734Fno1NG

"I would love to counsel patients to meet their physical activity needs by biking in Baltimore, but until the city commits to building the right infrastructure, I’ll continue to hesitate." Bike infrastructure is health infrastructure for #activepeople! https://t.co/a4g2yHSmTp

Sheila Dixon on Complete Streets, the ordinance directing more funding to ADA access, walking, biking, and public transit:

"I would put a halt on it."

Sheila Dixon on Remington's Big Jump Extension, funded by a neighborhood grant:

"I would clearly remove the one on 28th St."
