We need more bike lanes. It's not just people who are already asking for this, either.

OK, was mapping around and it hit me...this is the Macy/Dillards shared garage behind the mall. I've highlighted what might be the hardest to get into and out of parking space, farthest-walk-from the door spot in the mall parkade. It's 4 stories above ground, twice as high off the ground as the mall roof.

Has this parking space *ever* been used? In the lifetime of this mall? For its intended purpose?

Here's a rare one, someone actually charging someone with murder when they kill someone with a car, in America. @notjustbikes

Yes, the existing bus network should be feeding an extensive city railroad or BRT trunk line system. Yes, Tulsa should have bicycle and pedestrian facilities on every major boulevard without exception. Yes, you shouldn't need to own a car in this city.

Hey , it's time to tell City Council what needs improvement in Tulsa again. So, better let em have it when it comes to our neglected cycleways and unusable transit.

I think this is the most mainstream thing I've seen talk about parking minimums as a bad thing.

If they were serious about pedestrian access, downsizing and renaming Northwest Expressway and/or making the pedestrian access flat and lowering the highway below ground would be the way to do it.

This movement? Believe it or not it's tied to the beg button on the north crosswalk. Like whoever set up this intersection just has this lane trigger the crosswalk and the green, same as if you pressed the beg button for this crosswalk, no joke. Which goes to show both how often they expect people to make this movement, and what they think of people trying to actually use these sidewalks. Credit where it's due, ODOT actually put sidewalks in.
