At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Cars in cities are an invasive species. When you don't solidify infrastructure to protect the integrity of active mobility, it will be hampered by multi-ton vehicles driven by entitlement to space.

On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

As someone who has multiple dangerous interactions with a car every time I ride my bike I have zero patience for this bullshit from JD Vance and Kristi Noem about the agent feeling threatened by a car turning around. The average bike commuter has more courage than trigger-happy Jonathan Ross.

So, like you can just fix the small things too?! A mayor can decide to improve things and not weaken decisions already made!? What is this, the upside down?!

Huge News: Zohran just promised to finish McGuinness the second it's warm, and to do Universal Daylighting *BEFORE* people are killed

Across the state, communities memorialize the lost and pull the levers of citizen power to make streets safer for everyone.

When infrastructure design details are rigid enough to give consequences rather than forgiveness to motorists, only then will we see a shift from recklessness to attentiveness behind the wheel.

Bike buses are the embodiment of Joy to the World. The school car line? Not so much. Here’s to more Bike Buses in 2026!

Our DOT director once told me "I think NYC's congestion pricing is a mistake" 🤦‍♂️ The success story is awesome

"The real question for Mayor Johnston is this: How many lives is Denver willing to sacrifice to preserve driver convenience? So far in 2025, we have lost 87 people — and counting." www.westword.com/opinion/sacr...

Bollards: 1 Car Bloat: 0

2025 is the deadliest year for traffic crashes in Denver on record according to the city’s Vision Zero dashboard. When we say Mayor Johnston isn’t make safer streets a priority, the data backs it up.

Thank you to all who continue to participate in the greatest policy debate in modern history. I’m going to respond to this thread with some frequently asked questions so we can focus our efforts on more productive conversation.

Along 14th Street in Denver

Mandatory car ownership is a tax by a different name

We often talk about the "freedom to drive", but we ignore the freedom not to. Making car ownership the baseline for participating in society isn't liberty, it’s forcing a mandatory, expensive subscription service on people just so they can get to work, buy food, or take their kids to school.

We can protect people on bikes, we just have to want to.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate so the people who built Colorado can take back control of our healthcare, our homes, and our futures. Working people built Colorado, we deserve a government that finally works for us. Join our campaign: julieforcolorado.com

Denver scaled back a street safety project after pushback from the family of Colorado's wealthiest man. While the city told the public that construction was the hold up, @spencersoicher.bsky.social obtained internal city emails showing the issue was "high level" community concerns.

Drive as if someone will jump out on the street at anytime and then be surprised if that doesn't happen. Not the other way around.

The mayor is continuing his legacy of undermining trust when a 5 year community input process is reversed right after a billionaire family complains.

“As we continue to have conversations about what we do to support the bike bus movement,” PBOT Director Williams said the BAC meeting last week, “some of that will require some changes. There is a deep interest in making sure that we do that well and do that right.” bikeportland.org/2025/10/21/p...

Every time a kid gets to eat lunch, we all win. Even if you have food. Every time a wildfire gets put out, we all win. Even if you don't smell smoke. Every time someone gets an education, we all win. Even if your kids go to private school. 1/

"People drive the design, not the sign." -unknown

Stop every campaign/effort telling people on bicycles/pedestrians and anyone outside the car how to be safe and divert ALL resources to remove every opportunity for drivers to be dangerous.

When life gives you lemons.... Make a pop-up separated bike lane!

Our neighbor school has started doing more of their own traffic calming. It’s great to see this tactical urbanism being employed, but frustrating that A. it’s needed at all and B. not being implemented by the city. It really does take a village.

Maybe I should start preemptively screaming at car drivers when they approach a red light—that seems to work better than the light itself.

Friendly reminder. Road safety campaigns must speak directly to and target those that perpetrate the greatest harm.

Both 46th Ave and Lowell at this intersection were supposed to be protected bike lanes. The 46th Ave PBL was cancelled and the Lowell PBL has been delayed indefinitely due to lack of funding. This is another crash in Denver that could have been prevented.

In a world full of so much misery, you can ALWAYS rely on bollards to make things better. #WorldBollardAssociation

First time I’ve encountered one of these stupid vehicles on the street. They are so comically wide and obscenely fast. There is no way these should be legal on city streets.

Table For One Please.

View of cargo bikes parked on the side of the elementary school playground for first day of school drop off. You love to see it.

Home to work. Home to school. Home to the store. That’s real life. 0–60 times don’t matter in any of it, except to the auto industry that profits off selling speed and death.

I was going to suggest that it would be better with markers for different speeds, but it actually has the markers already!

I haven’t seen it illustrated like this before. Very effective messaging. Of course it actually depends a lot on how fast the vehicle’s being driven, how big the vehicle is and how it’s designed, and how small the victims (too often kids) are. Via @yegbike.bsky.social #SpeedKills #CarBloat

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵

One less F-150. #urbanarrow #calgary

This is what attempted murder looks like.

Youth Mobility + Youth Independence should be key metrics of a city's success.

This is so disgusting. Denver’s DOTI has its priorities completely backwards.

Salih's ghost bike is interfering with absolutely no one. When your DOT's policies make it easier to kill someone with a car than to place a ghost bike, they're designed to uphold a cars-first system, regardless of any action plans the DOT claims to pursue, like #VisionZero or #SRTS or #Climate.

Look at all the cyclists running this stop sign. Absolutely outrageous. If you can’t follow the rules, get off the road!

This is what you want 😉
