“let's change the signage on the riverwalk to make it clear that bicycling is allowed on at least some parts of the path. And in the not-too-distant future, let's make a long-distance, permanent Wacker Driver protected bike lane a reality. Your move, F2M, CDOT, and Ald. Reilly.”

It’s a pretty big deal when this KEY MESSAGE is in Scientific American. It suggests a bigger tipping point. “We Need to Make Cities Less Car-Dependent: Reducing the need for car travel is better for health, the environment and public safety.” Via @sciam scientificamerican.com/article/we-nee…

Bring back more streets for the people to truly enjoy Chicago and not speed through it. If businesses on other streets are jealous, then pedestrianize those streets too. #streetsareforpeople

We needed a “study” to remind the world officially just how dangerous cars and driving is. We haven’t read it - yet - but we suspect the number of fatalities far surpasses the combined total from all other modes (trains, planes, bikes, etc).

Hmmm, promising but I remain somewhat cynical when it comes to relying on technology to protect people biking in the road. This sort of thing may be helpful but should not be a substitute for well designed bike road infrastructure.

@activetrans We did and it won't, zones that are already 20 around schools and parks have limited enforcement. So until we have the tools to enforce the existing limits this is nothing but a feel good ploy on your part. Now petition the IL SOS for stricter driving tests, something that helps.
On 5/1, Chi City Council’s Cmte. on Pedestrian & Traffic Safety will hold a hearing on lowering the default speed limit from 30 to 25 mph. Pls tell your alderperson that this change will make our streets safer for everyone. activetrans.org/blog/lower-spe…
Amazing how underwhelming that Wizard of Oz scene is by today’s HDR-color-saturated standards, but for generations, it was memorable

Install speed tables as fast as you can. They don't look like much, but they're saving lives around the world. The same design works mid-block or as a raised crosswalk.
When you move around primarily or exclusively by car, you may not see the evidence of car crashes around you: bent sign posts broken car pieces broken windshield glass tire marks, etc. For those who travel by 🚶🏻, 🚲 & 🚌 these reminders are everywhere on sidewalks & streets.
@StormCrowsBand @WorldBollard Sadly, it is not. When you engineer a built environment to require a car simply to access the basics of life, you end up with a society where everyone drives because they have to, whether they are suited to the task or not.
Protected bike lanes are simple, cost effective, and are proven to increase safety for all road users.
Bike helmets are a simple and effective way to reduce the risk of serious head injury when riding. We ❤️ helping kids ride safer with 12,500 free bicycle helmets being distributed across the state in 2024. 🚲 🚶 🚌 Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/3vM8BiY

I think this is what transportation planner don’t understand. Communities don’t actually want to apply for federal grants to get basic safety on their neighborhood streets. They actually want to come together & create a solution. Temporary, cheap & adjust as needed.
@CoachBalto @CoolBikeArt1 @PBOTinfo This is where the Safe Streets and Roads for All grants from USDOT come into play. PBOT should definitely apply if they haven't, and there's still time: transportation.gov/grants/SS4A
