Since it’s been 20mph it’s been brilliant. The roads are quieter and safer for everyone, including my six grandchildren. It takes an extra 40 seconds to travel from one end of the village to the other. If 40 seconds will save a life it’s well worth it" #publicsafety #20isplenty #safestreets

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/06/opinion/seniors-urban-planning.html “Beyond extending crosswalk time, there are a few different ways to make streets and crosswalks safer. One we know works: reducing speed limits in areas with high pedestrian traffic — an approach that’s even more effective when combined with speed bumps, narrower streets and roundabouts.” #safestreets #accessibility #urbanism #equity

How would you make this street better for biking & walking? Capt Bertie’s Way is a short 20 MPH street with residences and an entrance to a major town parking lot at the end. There’s a planned shared use path to connect a new housing development (highlighted parcel). Thoughts? #BikeTooter #UrbanPlanning #SafeStreets #sidewalk #bikelane #UrbanDesign #streets #CompleteStreets

🌍🚘 The latest post in my Unfucking the Climate series focuses on how cars have destroyed society. The ”War on Cars” is both entirely imaginary, yet should be an utterly sensible mainstream policy.
People need to be free to move around their world without constant fear of being killed, so let’s invest in low-carbon alternatives that do that.

@haraldkliems not sure if it’s too late, but I noticed on the Plan Commission agenda for tonight Items 13/14 a proposal that will increase traffic at an extremely dangerous intersection for bikes, peds, and cars.
I already emailed my opposition and explanation, but if you know any other Far East-Siders who might voice opposition I would appreciate the attention.

I'm tired of feeling unsafe at intersections. I'm tired of Vision 39 ( that's 39, not 0 traffic deaths in 2022). I'm tired of using death as the metric and motivator for street safety.
That's why I plan to be at 4th & King at 5pm tomorrow (Tues, 8/22). #safestreets #visionzero #TooMuchInaction

When people trade-in their gas cars for EVs, their gas cars are re-sold to other countries and keep on polluting.
(https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/21/africa/west-africa-benin-used-cars-climate-intl/index.html)
Tire pollution (the microplastics and metal pollutants that come off tires as people drive) is 2000x worse than tailpipe emissions, and EVs don't help with this.
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/07/09/tire-brake-tailpipes-emissions-pollution-cars/)
3,000 pound vehicles for personal transportation make these problems inescapable.
The only thing that makes sense is transitioning beyond cars in general.

#Portland #congestionPricing policy being updated in the metro Regional Transportation Plan, needs public comment supporting this #SafeStreets policy and a switch from car-centric measures to "new mobility policies based on system completeness, #VMTreduction, and reliability"

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)
