Little happened at Tuesday's Traffic Safety Committee meeting, except many public comments opposing Archer Safe Streets. Some were reasonable. But there was also lots of abuse of Ald. Ramirez from right-leaning political foes.

"Yes, building less dangerous cars and more forgiving roads would help address the USโs sky-high tally of roadway fatalities. But another way to save lives deserves far more attention than it gets: Stop forcing Americans to drive so much."

The US Is Counting Traffic Deaths Wrong
By emphasizing the number of people killed per mile rather than deaths per capita, traffic safety groups risk normalizing the factors that make American roads so deadly.

Ruth Cruz has stood by her word to help make her ward safer for bicyclists. We installed a ghost bike for 16 yr old Josh Anleu Oct 2023 & just 4 months later helped investigate the hit & run crash of 18 yr old Ernesto Vargas that sent him to the ICU.

A clique of lobbyists and politicians, some of them Trump-friendly, want to use discontent over the half-finished Archer Safe Streets project to defeat local Ald. Julia Ramirez. We've nicknamed them the "Make Archer Great Again" (MAGA) posse.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, itโs actually safer to NOT have them. Via
