@achadwick check out #MexicoCity if you want to see some solid #BikeLanes with proper #bollards; i thought they were pretty awesome as my wife and I biked around looking at #graffiti with a tour guide several months ago ... the traffic there can be intimidating but for comparison my wife doesn't feel #safe particularly biking around #SanFrancisco ...she was fine there

The microplastic and pollution from the tires will kill communities and ecosystems, like with every other car.
There is no escaping the illogic of 2,000+ pound vehicles designed to carry 200 pounds of people. (The vehicle seen below will weigh 5000 lbs)

"This is the standard method that the Netherlands uses to prevent people from driving through a neighborhood, and they make the streets safer and more enjoyable for everyone who lives there."
Also basically the only solution to traffic, and will still be the answer, no matter how much time we waste wishing for some other option.

🥥 First the #orcas rose against the rich and I did nothing because I'm neither an orca nor rich.
Then the #otters rose against surfers and a man in #Singapore, and I turned away because otters are cute and I've never been to Singapore nor do I surf.
And when the #bollards rose in the streets there was no one to help me because the #cats with opposable thumbs had a firm grasp on all the levers of power. 🥥

🤔 #drivers also must follow the laws of physics... #bollards and barriers allow #trafficEngineers to leverage that fact to ensure that people drive safely. #VisionZero #stuffInTheStreet

Some new and exciting #TrafficCalming infrastructure in #Dorchester
First one (teardrop #Diverter) is at Whitfield and Southern. The #RaisedCrosswalk and #Bollards is at Talbot and Colonial. I'll post the before pics next
This is absolutely the future I want for #Boston

I've always thought it shocking how much damage cars/vehicles do to the street furniture, seemingly routinely, and normally with zero penalty.
And some people wonder why cyclists and pedestrians feel unsafe near speeding cars...
When you travel abroad, it is noticeable that many cities simply install _solid_ bollards to keep the pavements safe.
