Would have been nice if Baltimore Police had asked this Benz driver to pay their $225 in unpaid red light violations instead of instructing them to park illegally.

A City Built for People: Bikemore Impact Stories This #GivingTuesday, Ibrahim Auguste tells his story. Read it here: www.bikemore.net/news/givingt...

Great piece from former Community Law Center attorney and BMZA executive director Becky Witt in support of allowing more housing options by ending exclusionary single-family zoning.

"Can [your 1st grader] travel alone in the neighborhood (4-8 blocks) to the store, school, playground or to a friend’s home.” Psychologist, Louise Bates Ames, book "Your 6YO: Loving and Defiant" in '79, on childhood development. Life After Cars continues to surprise me. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

By enabling “gentle density,” @mayorbmscott.bsky.social zoning legislation will support real people with real needs in my neighborhood. Anxieties about it, while sincere, are misplaced. tinyurl.com/29z4wv3f [OP-ED]

When we published our Super Speeders research, it made someone mad. Whoever that was figured out my home address, and sent me multiple packages as veiled threats. Bid on a piece of that history and fund Bikemore with your purchase! bikemore.auctions.networkforgood.com/auctions/11t...

Evening in Lunenburg, NS.

Toronto is trying to make neighborhood commercial legal again. When we did this in Baltimore nearly a decade ago, the same claims that neighborhoods would be overrun/destroyed were levied by the very same folks opposing zoning reforms to improve housing options and affordability in Baltimore today.

A project shouldn't exist unless it furthers adopted city plans and complies with law. We've flagged noncompliance months in advance of resurfacing every year. There's enough funding and time every year to fix this problem. Agency leadership just needs to do it. agency just needs to fix it.

8 years after @bmorecitydot.bsky.social created their own legally mandated resurfacing standards, they're still breaking them. Fire the TEC division staff who ignore the law. Generate projects out of Planning division. Require signed compliance forms before asphalt touches the ground.

Let's go Baltimore!

If your car was struck by a hit-and-run driver last night at University and 39th, my wife was a witness. Feel free to DM. The VA TKU-9573 tagged vehicle has over $900 in unpaid red light and speed camera citations.

It’s beautiful. Before/after

The next phase of hardening #BigJumpBaltimore is underway. Full hardening of the 28th Street Bridge, removal of the old plastic water barriers, and sweeping of the lane should be complete by early next week. Next up: striping and signage. less

Bikemore is hiring an organizer to launch the Baltimore chapter of Families for Safe Streets, advocating for life-saving changes and providing support to Baltimoreans affected by the preventable epidemic of traffic violence. This is a 24 hour per week part-time role with room to grow.

Next week, the committee will vote on another piece of the bill package, legislation that was heard today from @electryandorsey.bsky.social to legalize new construction single stair multi-family buildings.

This legislation is part of a package of bills that will make it easier to build more affordable, diverse housing in Baltimore, making it easier for families to grow and seniors to age in place. Complementary bulk and yard zoning changes from Councilman Paris Gray also passed today.

Today Baltimore City Council's Land Use and Transportation Committee voted to repeal parking minimums citywide by supporting @zacblanchardd11.bsky.social's Spaces for People Act. On to the full council!

@bmorecitydot.bsky.social @jedweeks.bikemore.net Today I opened SR #25-00807235 because the pedestrian crossing at Linden & Druid Park Lake Dr is unsafe by design. Drivers routinely run the red at this key pedestrian gateway to Druid Hill Park’s loop trail and future amenities.

Please send a quick email in support of three bills being heard by the Baltimore City Council Land Use and Transportation Committee this month: secure.everyaction.com/81AL1uY6R0a7...

The third bill, scheduled for September 18th, is no less significant. It will permit the construction of apartment buildings up to six stories high using a single staircase. This makes it possible to build much more creatively, and densely, on small or awkward parcels.

The bills up in committee this week are big. 25-0064 increases the building space flexibility in all residential zones. 25-0065 eliminates ALL parking minimums citywide. Please, if you haven't yet, smash that link and tell the council: support these bills. secure.everyaction.com/81AL1uY6R0a7...

Thank you Mayor Scott for listening to concerns around relocation of the Sisson Street waste transfer facility. We're hopeful the announced task force can identify solutions that do not jeopardize the Jones Falls or bike and pedestrian safety. baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/mayo...

Last popsicle night of the season at Sisson Street Park

Bike Breakfast is Friday from 8:00-9:30am in the courtyard behind Sophomore Coffee at 23rd and Maryland. Come join us! Also, send a quick email about the housing affordability and access bills being heard at city council this month: secure.everyaction.com/81AL1uY6R0a7...

In Pittsburgh, they’re smart enough to treat their waterfronts like the social and environmental assets that they are. There are multi-use paths, boardwalks, parks, and abundant nature along the city’s rivers. Baltimore MUST do better than a freaking dump!!!

At Bikemore, we believe the Jones Falls Valley can and should be realized as a world-class linear park. We don't believe relocation of a waste transfer facility fits into that vision. Read more and share your opinion with elected officials here: www.bikemore.net/news/donttra...

Supporting this relocation without a commitment to all three of these improvements is supporting a proposal that will lead to injuries and deaths of people walking and biking. These are the bare minimum improvements necessary, and they should happen regardless of relocation.

If this moves forward, the only safe way to implement it is to fully invest in all of the transportation improvements long promised in the Jones Falls Valley: 1) End car through traffic 2) Implement the Jones Falls Gateway 3) Install a sidepath from the switchbacks to Union.

Popsicle nights and streets for people

On Sunday we delivered a ghost bike to the celebration of David Herman, who was killed by a driver while riding his bike on 7/4. We installed the ghost bike today. We also put flowers on Nathan Krasnopoler's ghost bike on Sunday. He died Aug 10, 2011, months after being hit.

"Herman was the ninth cyclist to die in Baltimore since the city unveiled a bike lane plan in 2015. He was the third cyclist to die on a road where a separated bike lane had been recommended, but never built, according to an analysis by The Baltimore Sun." www.baltimoresun.com/2025/07/30/b...

We're thrilled to partner with @mta.maryland.gov on a new training program for bus operators, which includes this empathy experience of what it feels like to be close-passed by a bus.

Oversized Hit and Run Illegal Trucks Not on Truck Routes Ruin Everything Around Me.

Another great Mount Royal Soaps Night Market supporting small businesses and makers in Remington. Unfortunately tonight a car with $1129 in unpaid speed/red light tickets blocked a vendor space. Can't be towed because the city isn't authorized to tow for those unpaid violations.

We presented alongside MTA and Baltimore City today at BNIA's Data Day. On the commute to and from, it was nice to see a reminder of what streets for people can look like in action.

Maybe don't run red lights right next to schools idk

The Big Jump is coming back...in concrete, permanently. Let's go!

Another great Night Market at Mount Royal Soaps in Remington. More neighbors make better neighborhoods. And walkable small businesses unburdened by parking requirements help our neighborhood thrive.

You really love to see it. 😎

Today we joined TJ Smith on @wbalradio.bsky.social to talk about Baltimore's Super Speeders. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KcS...

Inspired by today's post from Transportation Alternatives, we analyzed Baltimore's Top 10 Super Speeders in 2024. Combined, these 10 speeders racked up 1,117 speed camera citations in 2024 and owe the city over $81,000. www.bikemore.net/news/baltimo...

Baltimore drivers be like

This evening 5 - 7 pm, Ministry of Brewing: Baltimore Transit Friends Happy Hour! We join forces with Sierra Club of Maryland, @cmtalliance.bsky.social and @bikemore.net among others to meet the moment on transportation advocacy and critical state funding.

Hell yeah. Now imagine what this team could do if we gave them an actual transit budget.

We had a blast participating in The Funders Network conference this week, attending the joint Mobility, Access, and Urban Water happy hour last night and presenting Bikemore priorities today before taking funders on a tour of Herring Run Trail.
