#KeelingCurve accelerating through #VisionZero: 40% of the #cars on that block exceeded the #speed limit...
But by DDOT’s standards, this level of #speeding was insufficient to require #trafficcalming, particularly in the face of uncertain #community support.

I’ve decided that door zone bike lanes often feel less safe than no paint at all. They encourage drivers to feel entitled to the whole car lane, and if I ride in the edge of the bike lane outside the door zone, drivers are prone to rage and honk or pass closely. #SFBike #StreetsForPeople #urbanism

This could be us, but we let the car take it from us.

The U.S. is an outlier in failing to make road safety improvements. Pedestrians and people of color bear the brunt due to street design that prioritizes moving cars through neighborhoods rather over people living in them.

State governments have the power to make or break US #transportation #ClimatePolicy. Investing in more highway expansions will make things WORSE; instead, they should use both federal and state money to support climate-friendly public and active transportation.

And it's not just about 💰. If states reform rules prioritizing space for cars over people, the money will go a lot farther.

We'll be talking about what communities & transportation agencies learned from their experiences rolling out #COVID19-related street space changes, and how those experiences are leading to new best practices in allocation/use of #StreetSpace.

What questions do *you* want us to tackle in the session? What lessons do *you* think we need to take away from #COVIDstreets? Drop 'em here before the session & I'll see how many we can get to.

Congratulations to (*checks notes*) Houston, Texas on your new 7 block long pedestrianized street! If car-centric Houston can do it, so can any American city. #CafeStreets #StreetsForPeople

Every city should have a network of these kind of streets, free of cars.

I am so excited that our amazing international team* was awarded a grant to pilot a method for studying associations between walking environments and people's experiences. Specifically, we will be comparing experiences between direct routes, and routes that are greener, with less noise and pollution.

We are going to be using an innovative app - Go Jauntly - and examining inputs from pedestrians walking in Auckland, Bristol, and Buenos Aires (San Martin). The funder is the Volvo Research and Education Foundation. More info in the blog post below.
