oh and i can confirm that work has restarted on the 61st Ave NE improvements in Kenmore - including the new bike lanes - but it's not, like, super-accelerated or anything. But they've put down a bunch of yellow trace paint, and were working on some section of sidewalk I didn't understand when I […]

The future of #ActiveTravel is bleak in Trinidad and Tobago! #Motonormativity is at crisis levels and there's a national aspiration towards personal car ownership! There's zero #PoliticalWill towards fixing #PublicTransit and building safe #BikeInfrastructure!

Sacramento May Vote on a Major Transportation Funding Plan
A new Sacramento ballot proposal would fund safer streets, better transit, and road repairs across the region.
#Sacramento #sacrt #BikeInfrastructure #UrbanPlanning #Transportation
What does the bill do? It allows municipalities in Massachusetts to opt in to setting up cameras specific for enforcing speed limits, red light turning, and "blocking the box." Why is the bill important? Speeding and red-light running are major causes of serious injuries and deaths, especially for cyclists, pedestrians and other road users. Safety cameras would significantly reduce crashes, helping to slow cars and save lives. It will also provide accountability for unsafe driving without requiring resources from police officers, reducing the danger inherent in traffic stops.
Use of traffic safety cameras What the proposed law does: Cameras only activate when a violation occurs. They only capture license plate images, not drivers' or passengers' images, similar to automatic tolling already in place. Each violation is reviewed by a person before fines are issued and fines can be appealed. Local governments must hold public hearings, post clear signage, run public education programs and publish annual safety and equity reports. What the proposed law does NOT do: Not share data: The law does not allow sharing data with other agencies, such as Flock cameras or federal databases. Not affect insurance rates: Camera tickets do not add points to your license, are not moving violations, and will not affect your insurance.
Enforcement of traffic safety cameras What the proposed law does Fees start at $25 and any extra revenue goes to the Massachusetts Transportation Trust Fund. Automated enforcement reduces traffic stops and limits discretionary policing. There are clear safeguards in place: no tickets for yellow lights, speed buffers built in, first 60 days are warnings only. What the proposed law does NOT do Not about revenue: This law prohibits profit-driven enforcement. Camera vendors and collection companies can't be paid per ticket and any extra net revenue cannot go to local or municipal budgets.
Privacy protections of traffic safety cameras What the proposed law does Strong privacy protections are built in: no front-facing photos, images deleted within 48 hours, data is not public and cannot be sold or shared. Data is only available to law enforcement with a court order. Cities must analyze and report racial and social equity impacts. What the proposed law does NOT do Not surveillance tools: The law sets prohibitions against selling data and using it for other purposes. They cannot be used to track people.
What would proposed bills S.2344 and H.3754 mean for the use, enforcement, and privacy protections behind traffic safety cameras?

Document starts with roadway changes for cars. #BikeInfrastructure starts on page 75. Love all the additional bike paths, bridges, and underpasses for bikes to get around busy intersections.
If you don't build it, people won't get on the saddle!

We often hear the excuse of not putting even a row of flex posts on bike lane like "how the city gonna clear the snow ❄️"
Well. Look at this.
It's not technicality that stops you really. It's just political will. That's all.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been back to Santa Monica, CA. I was curious to see if any improvements have been made with their bike infrastructure. I have a limited review I here #santamonica #bikefriendlycities #bikeinfrastructure #protectedbikelanes

We've got perfect weather, but poor leadership with no political will; so no child is able to ride their bike to school in tiny Trinidad and Tobago!
There's a childhood obesity problem and no one is making the connection!

Oakland secured a $30M grant to redesign MLK Jr. Way—adding cycle tracks, safer crossings, and new lighting—transforming one of the city’s most dangerous corridors into a safer, connected street.
