Took the urbanist pilgrimage to ye ol charming residences which are now illegal to build.

Policies that could unlock funding for cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across America have cleared the first hurdle in Congress — and the advocates who fought for them are launching a national nonprofit to promote a model that they hope can get the bill across the finish line.

A vote for Steyer is a vote for Dem vs Dem in Nov. A vote for Becerra boosts Hilton's chance to be second.

"No data" LMFAO

Fortunately not affecting my life at all, except I’ve seen more people biking. My most frequent trip is for PT @ucsdhealthsci.bsky.social Hillcrest and the team is always glad I’m “warmed up” for my session after arriving by bike. They have a bike path from the garage to a protected bike lane.

The study found clear benefits from cycling: 100% of studies measuring social wellbeing reported positive effects, while 67% showed improvements in psychological wellbeing.

You can practically hear this pic from Bike Anywhere Day, taken on the in-construction Eastern Hillcrest Bikeway alignment!

Happy Bike Anywhere Day! I made it to 15 pit stops, here they are.

Ride On

Hey yo San Diego this Thursday is Bike Anywhere Day let’s make it the best one ever. Pit stops and a directions widget are live on the bike webmap! geo.sandag.org/portal/apps/...

Please keep the Multi-Modal Traffic Safety Team. Every single councilmember and the mayor has claimed public safety is the number 1 priority. Traffic violence is the biggest threat to public safety. 3x as many people are killed in San Diego by traffic violence than by homicide.

Less important to yall, but brutal to primary caregivers trying to do it all and failing, like me: Duffy worked as head of my agency while in a road trip for seven months, while folks like me across the Federal government have been prohibited from all teleworking.

Join us today!

If you want a good indicate of some bad e-bike bills to oppose, @calbike.bsky.social has got you covered here. Clearly our legislators have not heard from enough people riding! Gonna make some calls and send some emails today and you shoudl too www.calbike.org/legislative-...

Final night to provide feedback, now includes comments!

Dug into federal data to compare the known speeds of cars involved in crashes with posted speed limits. Found a dramatic and accelerating link between the risk of injury and the extent to which speeders are breaking the law. Gift link: www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

No space? No problem. To bridge bike network gaps, @ddotdc.bsky.social tested advisory bike lanes. The results: ▶️ 61% of riders felt safer ▶️ Sidewalk riding decreased ▶️ People biking and driving understood the design, even without signs See how they did it: nacto.org/latest/no-sp...

Today's North Park Market safer streets mini demo at Ray Street + North Park Way. Don't even get me started on Ray Street past, present, and future arts+culture possibilities.

🚨🚨🚨 Mayor Gloria is proposing to completely eliminate the multimodal team as part of this year's budget. This is how most bike lanes across the City get constructed. Please take a second to tell him we need to keep this team ⬇️ #sandiego

@asmchrisward.bsky.social please oppose AB-1557 tomorrow which would make all these e-bikes illegal that me and fellow Grant TK-8 parents use to get our kids to school in your district every day.

#ICYMI, tomorrow is a national day of action to #SaveAmericasBikeLane! Rallies are happening across the country: - in DC with @waba.org - in Denver, Colorado with @bicyclecolorado.bsky.social - in Honolulu, Hawaii with Hawai'i Bicycling League - in Cleveland, Ohio with @bikecleveland.bsky.social

Bike thieves are a persistent plague. The first line of defense: a good bike lock. To find the best bike lock, we ordered 35 of the toughest we could find and then sawed, chopped, and cut them to pieces. nyti.ms/4srpiHD

While there is unfortunate language in this year's Safe Streets and Roads for All grant opportunity, USDOT webinars have said less favorable considerations are not hard penalties, each can be addressed by data analysis or site selection Not applying for bike lanes guarantees bike lanes are unfunded

California planners, engineers, public works & public health pros - there's still time to apply for the CA Safe System Institute for Road Safety – a hands-on cohort to advance Vision Zero 2.0 locally. The deadline is TOMORROW! app.smartsheet.com/b/form/019c7...

The City of San Diego released their Draft Bicycle Master Plan Update Network fp.mysocialpinpoint.com/sd-bikeplan let's take a look.

This article does a good job describing the “before” condition (class III shared lane) and the effect that an upgrade to class IV separated bikeways has had on ridership. @asmchrisward.bsky.social & staff deserve much credit for seeing this project through completion while he was Councilmember.

I know the Cinderella team I’m rooting for! #MoValMarchMadness @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

214 San Diego to 209 Moreno Valley! It’s sooo close!

bsky.app/profile/heyj... City of SD CAP goals for biking in 2030 are Portland’s in its best year levels (7%) and we’re at .7% ☹️ A pedestrian died on W. Point Loma Blvd yesterday. We need to declare a state of emergency and push all available finite resources towards CAP and VZ goals.

Submitted 1 on behalf of this bicyclist who has their own system for dealing with bike lane blockers. (Of course driver was absent and missed this PSA 😤)

They're launching a Streetsblog SD !

New research suggests rising global temperatures are likely to contribute to a decrease in physical activity.

The San Diego City Council could take a major step in reducing speed limits on roads throughout the city, in order to meet its "Vision Zero" goal to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries.

University Bikeway will make our streets safer and more accessible. This project goes beyond adding bike lanes by protecting drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists with traffic calming measures. This SANDAG investment (1/2)

Public Safety First: A call to action for District Attorneys and State Attorney General to enforce consumer protection laws. E-bikes represent a novel opportunity to give people in California a reliable, clean, and independent way to get around.

San Diego is taking a major step toward making its streets safer with a new comprehensive speed management plan that outlines where speed limits could be lowered across the city as part of its Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic deaths.

Research on the 15th Street cycletrack (albeit a different section) found that "Motor vehicle [Level of Service] was largely unaffected" www.researchgate.net/publication/... Level of Service is a vehicle traffic flow metric that primarily looks at congestion, so 15th Street didn't cause congestion

Help stop the misguided attempt to license bikes in CA, it will only lead to making it more difficult for people to adopt bikes. We don’t need new laws, we need the existing classifications of e-bikes to be properly enforced. bikeeastbay.org/say-no-to-ma...!

The same guys using junk science to say protected bike lanes are dangerous for people biking told the mom who lost her daughter and other supporters that the red light cameras they’re requesting will not prevent future crashes because of sunsets and because they say so.

Build a low-stress citywide network and more Americans will ride bikes more often.

Secure micromobility parking at UCSD medical center Hillcrest at top of recently-improved Bachman Dr. People scoff when you tell them how many people bike to the hospital because they only imagine themselves doing it sick or injured, but not of the staff who want health benefits from their commute.

#sandiego Downtown Clean & Safe survey is out. I asked them to operate the bollards on 5th Ave so that it can be pedestrianized again: www.surveymonkey.com/r/2P3FZC3
