๐๐ฒ> Big snowstorms tend to reveal huge swaths of public space that drivers simply don't use โ they appear as piles of snow and show us all exactly where neckdowns could easily be built. Hence, #sneckdown.

Build better bike infrastructure, get better drivers.
Neither of these examples is good infrastructure #pdxBikes. 4th is on the wrong side of the street, NE Broadway is mostly paint. It doesn't matter if it costs millions of dollars, it only matters if it makes drivers fear damage to the precious. #Bollards #StuffInTheStreet #FuckCars
Good Infrastructure vs Bad Drivers
Combining short-trip data with #levelOfTrafficStress to identify areas that could shift the most trips onto bikes by investing in #protectedBikeLanes and other infrastructure #BikeTooter #trafficEngineering #bollards #climateAction #stuffInTheStreet #JFDI
From Data to Design: Creating Safer, More Connected Active Transportation Networks
Cupertino has teamed up with Alta to reimagine its streets for walking and bikingโbacked by the power of Replicaโs data. By combining Altaโs innovative planning approach with Replicaโs cutting-edge insights, the city is uncovering where short car trips can shift to safer, more connected active transportation. This partnership highlights how data and design can work hand-in-hand to create healthier, more sustainable communitiesโsetting a model for cities everywhere.
102nd, Glisan, 122nd Ave. Known for being deadly streets. Three unarmored people killed with cars in one night. These are #crashNotAccident #trafficEngineering Design Failure, #ZeroVision. Slow down, turn your lights on, get your city to install #bollards and #stuffInTheStreet #VisionZero #Portland #pdxBikes
โLetโs just try some cheap stuff and see if it works,โ ๐ finally #tacticalUrbanism has entered the [city council] chat #VisionZero #stuffInTheStreet #JFDI

Aaron Kuehn of @bikeloudpdx presenting their #StuffInTheStreet event with #DePave at 7th and Sandy getting input on-site #TacticalUrbanism
Instead of #SchoolStreets where we didn't try very hard to prioritize safety over motorists' feelings, at five (of 75-ish) elementary/middle schools, could we put some #stuffInTheStreet on at least one block next to every school and just make it be a #Portland norm that you're not going to cut-thru past the school at drop-off or pickup time, and if you're driving your kid maybe your car is not a pass to automatically get to run over everybody to drop them in the doorway?
I'm old enough to remember printing signs that said #StuffInTheStreet for a rally before even #Portland had adopted a #VisionZero policy, but we didn't get that in the policy, just plastic sticks and wishes ๐ #Vision60or70something #Bollards

Steve Novick has hired Spencer Knowles, campaign manager of Sam Adams 2020, IDK if that's a pro-bike/transportation crew or not, lost his seat to get us a gas tax, initiated VisionZero, but where did that get us without any actual Engineering guidance like cars are 6.5ft wide this is not rocket science Steve, but he did agree to ride on the tandem I didn't have yet ๐ค
Roundabouts don't need to be symmetric, circular, or necessarily even allow 53ft tractor-trailer trucks to make every left or a full lap. Fire engines have flashing lights and sirens and permission to drive the wrong way if needed. Get creative about putting obstacles in the way of thru traffic and you can transform an entire street network almost overnight with very little budget. #bollards #stuffInTheStreet #climateAction

Attached: 1 image #BarburBlvd #TrafficCircle 1952, though obviously we don't run 4 lanes of traffic through the center of the circle, just like we don't explode whales to clean the beaches, because science. Make the outside lanes bus-and-turn-only, give the bus priority over traffic to its left entering the roundabout. What are we waiting for? #VisionZero #ODOTGTFOpdx #Portland #pdxBikes https://barburblvd.blogspot.com/
