MobilityMainehttps://mastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCars/109910011510962064 I’m looking for suburban examples of this in the U.S.: “Cambridge MA wrote an ordinance that says every time a street is re-surfaced, they MUST put in the best bike facilities that will fit on that street. NIMBYs bypassed: now it's a law. They build a new bike lane every few months now.” #bikelanes #biketooter #WalkableCommunities
This looks like an excellent model for other cities: "In 2019, Cambridge City Council passed the Cycling Safety Ordinance, which requires the construction of separated bike lanes when streets are being reconstructed as a part of the City’s Five-Year Plan for Streets and Sidewalks and they have been designated for greater separation in the Bicycle Network Vision." #biketooter #bikepaths #urbanism #bikesafety #bikes4transport https://www.cambridgema.gov/streetsandtransportation/policiesordinancesandplans/cyclingsafetyordinance
Can #suburbs afford to do the same? My guess is they would need to also begin allowing multi-family and multi-use buildings in order to increase the tax revenues. Another intersection of #housingcrisis , #MultiModal transport, and #happycities
Robert Cassidy@MobilityMaine Cyclists should reduce their net road costs, so suburbs should be plenty dense.
