#VirtualEvent - Join us for Monthly #Maine #BikePed Meetups!

"Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and #AlternateTransportation options. But we aren’t always talking to one another!

In these virtual monthly meetings, we hope we can learn from each other’s successes and challenges, get advice, and share resources in a casual setting – a forum for those already active in the bike/ped world, as well as for those who are curious about the current work being done or who want to start their own local conversations.

Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (Link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."

Calgary mayor calls province's focus on bike lanes 'symbolic virtue-signalling'
Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen is considering legislation that would give the province more oversight of local bike lanes, but some Calgary city councillors believe the province should focus on what they consider to be more substantive issues like pedestrian safety.

Yield signs get around 30% driver compliance. RRFBs get 72-82% or higher. A HAWK signal costs $60,000-$100,000 installed. An RRFB costs $8,000-$15,000. When the location doesn't warrant full signalization, the RRFB is often exactly the right call. #RRFB #PedestrianSafety #CrosswalkDesign #MrBarricade

Tack-on curbs: drill dowels into asphalt, extrude concrete, keep existing drainage intact. Cheaper than full rebuild, more substantial than paint. Smart middle-ground for bulb-outs. #MrBarricade #PedestrianSafety #Infrastructure #CompleteStreets

Uncontrolled crosswalks come in layers: paint, curb ramps, yield signs, flags, RRFBs, HAWK signals. The right tool depends on speed, volume, sight distance. Safety design, not one-size-fits-all. #MrBarricade #PedestrianSafety #UrbanPlanning #CompleteStreets
