@glightly What the hell, #PeopleForBikes?

@NoRomBasic Wasn't surprised to see #Davis on #PeopleForBikes "Best Places to #Bike" list. :) One of the respondents to #Bicycling #Monterey's recent questionnaire mentioned Davis as one of his favorite cities for that reason. (We've not yet posted his Davis mention, as we've only put up the first post in that series so far https://bikemonterey.org/voices-of-people-who-bike-part-1-who-bikes-why-and-memories.html
—many more to go between now and September.)

We appreciate seeing your activity on Mastodon. :)

"For communities that lack funding to develop their own custom tools, the ETC Explorer is a fantastic resource. This is especially important as most USDOT grant programs now require applicants to include #equity considerations, such as identifying underserved communities and how proposed projects would reduce barriers to opportunity."—Martina Haggerty, #PeopleForBikes https://www.peopleforbikes.org/news/a-new-tool-for-equitable-bike-planning #Transportation #BikeInfrastructure

I was recently a guest on a #podcast about living #carfree/#carlite in Dallas.

If you've never been here, #Dallas is a quintessentially #carcentric city, with bottom-of-the-barrel #bikeability scores (133 out of 143 large cities in the latest #PeopleforBikes City Ratings, ouch). Minimizing car use here is a challenge, but definitely possible. Fun even. Mostly.

In other news, #PeopleForBikes' (yo where's your mastodon account?) top 10 best new bike lanes is out for 2022, and NYC didn't make it in despite the law that requires 30 miles of new PBLs for the year. https://www.peopleforbikes.org/news/the-best-new-u.s.-bike-lanes

Two reasons for that: 1) DOT only built 18mi instead of 30, and 2) what we do build is garbage.

The 34th Ave #OpenStreet gets a shout-out though; that project is still amazing in spite of city leadership (thanks to volunteers).

I know the story of 2 projects in #PeopleForBikes "BEST of 2022". Both were built only after hard-won advocacy fights.
I wonder about genesis of others on the "Best" list

#BetterNaito #PDX started as #BetterBlock student work at @TRECpdx@urbanists Supported by a People Protected #Bike Lane demo by @bikeloudpdx

The #Seattle #GreenLake people path took combined #PeoplePower of
#GLWstreets #AuroraReimagened + #SNGreenways

Grateful to #PBOT #SDOT for implementing!

I highly recommend The Street Project documentary, which tells the story of safe streets advocates across the country. #bikes #documentary #completestreets #thestreetproject #activetransportation #Advocacy #peopleforbikes
