Reminder: Public comments on the draft Active Transportation Plan – which covers ways to make our city more bike- and pedestrian-friendly – are due by this Tuesday, March 10. There’s a link to the draft and a comment form at https://www.toaksatp.org/documentation

Although the Bicycle Advisory Team (BAT) and Traffic and Transportation and Advisory Commission (TTAC) have already reviewed the draft, it’s also important to gather public input.

Please post comments on the city’s web page, not here!

Anyone who’s free next Thursday in Berkeley, CA and cares about safe streets, please show up to this protest over city council ignoring the approved Hopkins Street corridor safety plan. Don’t let a few folks with car brain undermine the right for everyone else to not get run over in a popular part of the East Bay.

Have you seen this? This recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips that are by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412024001272

#tacticalUrbanism popup #roundabouts -- when people come together in public space outside of their cars, we see the same patterns over and over. Why is this completely unlike the #SafeStreets projects proposed by #trafficEngineers? (& shelved pending $30m+ budgets 💸) It's not blinkinlights on 5-lane #stroads, it's impediments to platoons of SUVs rolling through at speed (which is exactly what the "traffic model" thinking tries to preserve at all costs.) #acab #AbolishICE #VisionZero #BanCars
