Happy Monday! Frank is absolutely losing his SH!T on NextDoor in multiple posts/comments. His original post got shut down bc he went against Community Guidelines. He can’t grasp that ND is a private platform so his version of free speech doesn’t apply. 🤣🤡 @Frank13Enderle #CVUSD

Here's the question. Is this a fair test or more like a way to do less to make drivers happy?

[Andrew Pletcher @D_Pletcher]

The agenda is out for our Wednesday TTAC meeting where we will be discussing Hillcrest Drive Bike Lanes and Pedestrian Improvements…

Okay, so what are we discussing?

Public outreach has begun as to the Hillcrest portion of the project, with a demonstration phase starting in May.

What say you bike community? @CalBike @TOAcornNews @BeccaWhitnall @KyleBJorrey @VCYimby @move_vc @technotion_

↪️ PASSED ASSEMBLY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE: AB 2583, which reduces speed limits in school zones to 15 mph, aligning California with the school zone policy in dozens of other states. Introduced by @AsmMarcBerman, this bill passed unanimously with bipartisan support!

Turf is out. Native grasses are in. Here are 4 lush low-water options https://t.co/v6Xd6k6g3E

@D_Pletcher @CityofTO @GavinNewsom @StrongTowns When and where is that TTAC discussion taking place?

"Daylighting can be done cheaply and creatively with simple materials such as bollards, planters, and bike racks. This checklist lists more than 25 materials that can contribute to daylighting projects. Here are some examples of this practice done well across North America."

[Andrew Pletcher @D_Pletcher]

Excited to see that @CityofTO TTAC will have a discussion on AB 413, a daylighting bill that was signed by @GavinNewsom last October.

What is daylighting? Here’s a great article from my friends at @StrongTowns on it:

@rymah16 @D_Pletcher maybe someone needs to sneak out with a pot of glue in the middle of the night?

“Andrew Pletcher, who chairs the Thousand Oaks Traffic and Transportation Commission, said a proposed Assembly bill (AB 825) seeks to give all cyclists in California the option of riding on sidewalks in certain situations. This would provide them a safer place to pedal when streets are too narrow or there are no bike lanes.

This is a “fantastic bill,” Pletcher told the Acorn.

“I think it’s a great approach for cities to give another option for bicyclists who don’t feel safe on local roads.”

Missed the 254th anniversary of the Conejo Grade yesterday.

We're working on making our community better prepared for emergencies by identifying areas where we need to improve. Please help us by completing this survey at https://t.co/xfebniivGd ⛑️🎒

@technotion_ @Weihe13 @conejodems It will pass. It will satisfy the State at least for the next 8 years. Will it enhance livability for current and future residents? Meh.

[TO Livability Action Network @TOLivability]

@Weihe13 @conejodems Our position is @CityofTO won't thrive without more housing, affordable housing, and neighborhood vitality. The GP needs to pass, not because it's great, but because it's enough. We wanted more affordable housing, safer streets, bike and walkability. Didn't happen. It's a loss.

[TO Livability Action Network @TOLivability]

We have so many surface streets in @CityofTO that 'scream "wide open highway". Signs won't slow drivers down. Time to redesign?

[TO Livability Action Network @TOLivability]

"People don’t drive based on signage. They drive based on the design of the street. In the case of Olympic Boulevard, the design screams “wide open highway,” a lot like PCH. Hazardous as this is to all, it is most dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists" https://t.co/MBRYITarAb

[TO Livability Action Network @TOLivability]

L.A. doesn’t need ‘Watch your speed’ signs. It needs safer roads." Four Pepperdine students standing on the side of PCH were crushed by a car driven 104 MPH. This kind of traffic death shouldn’t be called an accident. We have accepted carnage in exchange for driver convenience.

Hey, @CityofTO Traffic Engineers. Remember how you told us that wider lanes were safer? Not so much. Study: 12 Ft. Lanes Are Deadlier Than 10 Ft. Ones — So Why Do Many DOTs Build Them Anyway? https://t.co/FIHBfknL8W
