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, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”
This man was at least the 14th person to die on a Sacramento city street this year. His name was William Wradge. He was 27. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...
We are excited to announce that we will be holding an upcoming happy hour conversation with Sacramento City Councilmember and candidate for Sacramento County Supervisor Eric Guerra! Please join us on Wednesday, April 15 at 6:00 p.m. at New Helvetia for a conversation about housing and homeless.
Are you interested in talking to a policy professional or researcher who does VMT modeling?
This seems to be the crux of the issue.
A lot of YIMBYs in the region are opposed to this development. I think it may be worth asking why instead of assuming bad faith.
House Sacramento is hosting a fundraiser for Safer Sac Streets! Safer Sac Streets is currently gathering signatures for a tax measure to fund transit, bike lanes, and safe pedestrian routes to schools!

Great piece on why Sacramento has succeeded on housing when most other cities in this state failed and what city council is doing to keep up the momentum to reduce rents.

Today, something happened in the City of Sacramento. The beginning of something exciting. Language was filed with the city for a ballot measure to raise sales tax 0.5% to fund safe streets and transit infrastructure. It's gonna take everyone to get this passed, but together, I think we can do it. 🚲🚌
These may be marketed as "condos," but they're not. They're townhomes. And there's a reason why they cost almost a million dollars each, likely twice as much as if they were actual condos.
@raders.bsky.social explains why our condo defect laws ruin everything: housesac.substack.com/p/sacramento...
House Sac’s Kate Rodgers on @kcranews.bsky.social about last night‘s planning commission vote on whether to bring more than 300 new homes to East Sacramento.
Support for the project was unanimous (of course).
The pictures in the video if anything underplay how clearly unused the property is

New from me: A brief for @rooseveltinstitute.org on the logic of YIMBY policymaking and its applicability to other domains. What principles underlying the YIMBY agenda are transferrable to thinking about energy, healthcare, and other areas? Short 🧵 to follow. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

If the rest of California were like SD, Sac, and Berkeley, we'd be unstoppable.
