"In Wien fehlt es an Schülerlotsen, also Personen, die im Nahbereich von Pflichtschulen den Verkehr regeln, damit die Kinder sicher in die Schule kommen. In Floridsdorf sieht man einen längeren Zivildienst als Chance für mehr Schülerlotsen."
Autos raus. Kein Bedarf mehr.
This isn't on brand for me as a bike tooter, but I feel like if you want to dine at an n star Michelin restaurant you have to buy n tires and bring a receipt
Woke up early today to ride my bike to a #PortlandFire pick-a-seat event for people that put a deposit down on season tickets.
The #carbrained organizers assumed everyone would be arriving by car so there was no signage outside for people that showed up to the area by transit, on foot, wheels, etc…
The main doors were locked. Myself and a few wet comrades milled about until someone inside opened a door to let us in and point us towards the end of a massive line.
"Some of this was spurred by an article on BikePortland. I think because all the information wasn’t out there, it created confusion and immediately people went into action thinking this decision had been made because project team had put out a recommendation..."
Yes, and people rightfully responded to staff making a worse-for-everyone #carBrained recommendation!

"Kategorie leistbare Stadtautos"
The "impact on businesses, locals, and drivers" of increased foot traffic patronage, reduced traffic congestion, and less vehicle-related air polution...
Is not worth dramatically improving transit riders' commutes.
#Carbrained af, Bradbrad
I spent a few days in Sooke, BC, thinking about how #carbrained it is (like the rest of Canadian towns, to be frank).
Here's a cycling heatmap. Green is a popular and good rail trail, that however doesn't go into town. To get into town, you have to stay on the highway (red), whatever your mode of transportation is. Yellow is a 60km/h road with no shoulder and an occasional sidewalk.
Why isn't there a safer and more pleasant connection for people walking and cycling?
Charlottesville builds a dangerous road, a motorist kills a pedestrian, Kevin paints a crosswalk after city does nothing, city doubles down on own stupidity and charges Kevin with vandalism
Be like Kevin
Don't be like Charlottesville
