In Galway for a few days I noticed that the #greenway that runs parallel to the Galway to Clifden Road for parts of the way is very badly signposted. There are signs showing a bicycle before the entrances; what is missing is a map at each (or any) entrance showing where the greenway goes. As a result, a lot of cyclists take the dangerous, fast and twisty main road #ClifdenGreenway #GalwayCountyCouncil #Ballynahinch

Lovely day for a trip on the #waterford #greenway

my morning #walk accidentally became a #hike.

i wandered onto the #NCMA campus and walked through the meadows, and then found the nature trails and eventually the #greenway. it was a lovely walk, and i was pleasantly surprised to see a fair amount of people out and about. cyclists and pedestrians, young and old. i love that this is all within walking distance for me.

this also makes me want a #bicycle even more. the greenway is like, right there!

"In a series of events that could have been lifted straight out of the pages of one of Christie's mystery novels, the group of tourists were left stranded after stormy weather knocked down a tree, blocking the road leading down to the property in the county of Devon, southwest England."

Old and New Pattullo Bridges

Being on the sidewalk there is not great: it's narrow and is only separated by a curb. The whole structure shakes a lot. No wonder I didn't meet anyone there. Yet it's a part of BC Parkway, regional “greenway”.

One one hand, I'm glad it's being replaced with a new bridge, on the other it's just another piece of car infra the province spends most of the transportation budget on.

Join @sfbike @kidsafesf and @joel_engardio for a Sunset Neighborways ride this Saturday. The ride will help inform MTA's Active Communities Plan aka the citywide bike network.

As they say, safe routes don't stop at district boundaries. We are so grateful Westside politicians are expressing support for healthy modes of transportation.

RSVP details on flyer ⬆️.

*You would think* that a city that prides itself over quaint neighborhoods would try to calm traffic beyond lowering the speed limit.

I'm talking removing traffic lanes and parking to add greenery, transit lanes and daylighting. Think a village feel.

There seems to be a major disconnect bt SF supervisors, merchant associations and its residents.

As we biked around per usual, this shrubbery and large bushes caught my eye. (behind the Conservatory of Flowers in GGP, SF)

People love car free spaces. Saw a lot of omg, melting faces. Never gets old.

We took the nice #Greenway from Waterford to Dungarvan

I confess though that I took the #greenway home. Gleeful as it is cruising passed gridlocked cars, it's also really hot. The heat coming off of those personal fossil fuel power stations is intense.

#BikeLanes are great, but #greenways are even better.

My expertise is in #sustainable #transportation. My partner's is sustainable #forestry. Our knowledge bases don't overlap often, but they do when it comes to understanding the benefits of converting an erosion-prone, hard-pack dirt road to a stable, paved #greenway that will connect key destinations.

#Soil stabilization, #trail management, #forest health, & safe, vital ped/bike #mobility? We are IN.

TIL about the reopen the Alto Tunnel project. Def needs funding but seems like a missed opportunity in the year 2023.

I decided to #walk via the #Greenway to an appointment, and it was funny how there were some clear "stages of grief" (read below in "minutes into walking"):
0 - Let me put some music and enjoy.
10 - Oh no, I'm gonna be late
20 - What am I doing? Bad choice!
30 - Hm, I'm in the zone. This is nice.
40 - Arrived already?
😅

The car #traffic that came into view as I crested a hill on my morning commute was a sharp contrast to the surroundings of the pleasant #greenway I had been on.

#Cars--and the way we bend over backwards to cater to them--really do ruin everything.

Current situation at Page and Gough. (actually day 2) There is a detour sign at Octavia but we aren't sure if it is a detour to no where or Grove? Either way it is a mess out there with active transpo users depending on @pageslowstreet for safe passage.

Stay safe friends!

There's a quarter-mile stretch of #greenway on our route to #school that lets us momentarily forget to worry about the multi-ton high speed metal boxes that threaten our lives every day.

A moment of bliss in an otherwise screwed up world.
