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!

Rote und Grüne Ampelmann - images: Time Roeloffs

The Ampelmann is a beloved symbol of the former GDR. The Ampelmann was created by traffic psychologist Karl Peglau and introduced in Berlin in October 1961. The figure achieved such popularity that in the early 1980s the Ampelmann became part of road safety education for children.

After the unification of East and West Germany, the East German ampelmann disappeared because the same traffic lights should be used throughout the country. After several campaigns to preserve the East German Ampelmann, it was reinstated. Today, pedestrian traffic lights with East German Ampelmänner can again be found everywhere in the streetscape of Berlin and other East German cities.

From newspapers and magazines, Tim Roeloffs cuts and slices pictures and glues them together into a collage, in which a new, fantastic world emerges. After working as a tennis instructor, Tim Roeloffs settled in Berlin in 1992 and joined the artists' initiative Tacheles. After art and culture house Tacheles closed in 2012, Tim has worked in various workshops in Berlin and his work is available at various galleries. Currently, Tim creates his work in a workshop/shop in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg.

Virtual Event - #Maine #BikePed Monthly Meetups

February 16 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

"Join us for Monthly Maine Bike Ped Meetups! Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and alternate transportation 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."
