fakHmm, completed the online survey for the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood. I had initially dismissed complaints from my neighbours about the survey design, but it was very odd. There was no comparative element about before the trial and since, no questions about changed behaviour or perceptions, no questions about whether responders were positive or negative. Very bland questions about current usage and how you would rank things by importance (noise, pollution, seating, trees). #EBLN #Bristol
DavvaI wonder if similar data will be available for the #EBLN in #Bristol.

#RoadSafety “A new peer-reviewed study has found that a low-traffic neighborhood #LTNs in #London is associated with a significant drop in road injuries and fatalities … a 35% reduction in overall road injuries and a 37% decrease in those killed or seriously injured within #LTN areas” “builds on earlier findings from other #activetravel initiatives in London … which also linked #infrastructure changes to increased #cycling rates and wider #publichealth benefits” https://momentummag.com/low-traffic-neighbourhoods-study/

Excellent podcast on how cycling infrastructure has changed Paris for the better https://omny.fm/shows/the-take/how-to-become-a-bike-friendly-city-lessons-from-a-paris-revolution #Paris #Cycling
A.Stringer"Already it’s made a huge difference to this area. There’s an obvious increase in calm. People are a lot less aggressive when they drive around."

@wood5y well I know what cafe not to go to in the area. I was just thinking today, bin day (recycling) how the bin (recycling) lorry will be going down every single street in the #EBLN If you listened to these guys, you would think it impossible, but you can still drive down every single street if you so desire. You just can't go certain routes. And it's not even operational yet! The signs are very helpful for know what businesses to avoid.

In the last two years, Paris has transformed much of its roads and parking into green spaces, giving priority to people walking or cycling. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2025/04/12/air-pollution-paris-health-cars/ #climatechange #greenery #paris #cycling #walking #urbanism

Attached: 1 image Paris Proves the Power of Pedals: How Cycling Helped Cut Pollution in Half "Over the past two decades, the French capital has undergone a remarkable transformation — and cyclists are riding at the heart of it. A recent report by Airparif, the independent organization that monitors air quality in the Île-de-France region, delivered the kind of news that would have seemed unimaginable 20 years ago: between 2005 and 2024, levels of nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter — two of the most harmful pollutants to human health — have been slashed by 50% and 55%, respectively." https://momentummag.com/paris-proves-the-power-of-pedals-how-cycling-helped-cut-pollution-in-half/ #bikeTooter #cycling #climate #climatechange #climatesolutions #urbanism #airpollution #environment
I really wish the 'journalists' reporting on the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood #EBLN would do just some basic research. Bus gates were never mentioned? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0q19v77edvo you can still access the statutory consultation materials at https://www.ask.bristol.gov.uk/east-bristol-liveable-neighbourhood-tro which were produced after many years of proposals and feedback. See the massive amount of detail available in multiple languages for anyone who looked (everyone got letters with the details and every lamppost had a poster about it).
