If I am ever killed in the streets by a driver while I’m on foot or on my bike, please make it known that I would consider it spitting on my grave for flags to be lowered by the same government that took away speed cameras, that fights common sense traffic calming, that fights to dismantle and prevent better infrastructure for vulnerable road users.

A government that encourages, even guarantees, more deaths of kids walking to school, of people on bikes, old ladies in parking lots, and crossing guards forced to become martyrs.

Mayor Mamdani Holds Press Conference to Make an Announcement with DOT Commissioner Flynn

Speed limit reduced to 15 mph outside all eligible school zones. This can be done by executive action, whereas reducing speed limits more generally would take longer, requiring local legislative work.

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.
