What the heck is this? This is basically just "it's now also illegal to be on foot in the street, in addition to how unsafe it already is".

FYI, the PDF of the proposed ordinance is pretty short -- the meat is on pages 2 to 3.

They should ONLY do this if there's already a robust pedestrian street grid infrastructure that makes it convenient to get around on foot, and there definitely isn't!

Gas Meter by Potted Plants

A sidewalk scene features a vibrant potted plant juxtaposed with industrial gas meters and pipework. The lush greenery contrasts beautifully with the utilitarian elements, providing a balance between nature and man-made structures. Reflections in the window add a further layer of depth and interest.

A majestic domed Jessie Hall, stands prominently against a backdrop of mature trees and a clear sky.

Heard about this from a friend: the city council of #ColumbiaMO passed an #LGBTQ #SafeHaven Ordinance last night!

They held an open house thing for the 4-laning of Forum and I went. The concepts looked about as bad as I thought. No separated bike lanes and no traffic calming. I asked about traffic calming and they're like "we're adding roundabouts to the intersections of Woodrail and Katy, that should slow them down". Another one told me to just use the sidewalk when I ride my bike. I'm super glad this city allows it, but then why not just make mixed-use paths instead?

Also, there was some country club NIMBY complaining about how this will affect his property value. It just shows what kind of people go to these, so when your city holds one, GO TO IT.
