These #sidewalk #graffiti on the median at the end of the Panhandle strike me as a Venn diagram of art, drugs, mental health, and #occultism. I hope the poor soul made it home, to whichever plane that may be.

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).

This map shows the city's planned fee structure for sidewalk dining, roadways dining. Most boroughs are $6, $5 per square foot, but Manhattan's $10 and up. Spots of Manhattan, sidewalk fees jump from $18 to $31 a sq. ft.!

18 months later, a plan is announced. Fees to the city for sidewalk & for street eating, must close for 4 months of parking(!), but at least there's a plan.

Finally got signed up for this year's Chalk It Up (a chalk art event in Sacramento that benefits local artist and art programs), which happens later this month.
Here's last year's illustration, which I did partly to point out how hot it was that day.
Normally I fill in the whole square, but I liked how this one looked with the plain concrete background.

By Kevin Claxton, interim ED at #CalBike / California Bicycle Coalition,
"Talking Back to Bikelash," which features some ways to respond to the following:
Bikes should get off the road.
Bikes should get off the #sidewalk.
Bikes are a menace on shared-use paths.
Conventional bikes are okay, but #ebikes are a menace.
Bike riders are at fault in at least half of bike/car #collisions.
Nobody bikes anyway. Why should we build #BikeLanes?
People don’t want to ride #bikes.

In East Boston, MA you can still occasionally see something from an earlier era: a person leaning out their first floor window to have a conversation with a passerby on the sidewalk. Dogs do this too!

A topic that is quite dear to me is the question:
When should one map a separate sidewalk in #OpenStreetMap?
In general there are two schemas:
(A) one maps it directly with road by using the sidewalk
key, or
(B) one maps it as a separate way
For simple cases the (A) schema suffices, though for detail heavy cases, schema (B) is a better choice.
Examples of a simple case: the #sidewalk has the exact same surface and smoothness quality for the whole section.
It starts becoming problematic when either the surface and/or smoothness changes. Since each alteration will create an additional node onto the road. If it is one or two additions it might be acceptable but any more than that might question the sanity of throwing so much data onto the road. And this doesn’t even concern with how the surface, smoothness, lanes count, bicycle lanes, etc are dealt on the road. If one pulled this to the extremes one would have so many nodes that one would quickly lose the oversight of which way section belongs to which feature and would be more prone that the wrong section would be altered.
This problem didn’t mention how one would handle crossings or curb height or bus/tram stops or green spaces or any other amenity and POIs combinations between the sidewalk and road. The deeper one dives into all the potential possibilities that could exist, one quickly realized that schema (B) is the only sensible answer.

According to a 2019 study by Harvard [1], the public cost of the car economy is $5,645 per person per year. (The private cost is $6,000/year per car.)
Together, the cost of maintaining the U.S. car economy is $3.5 trillion per year.
In the communities with significant bike infrastructure, the public cost is $150 per person per year. (The private cost is $500/year per bike.)
In the communities significant public transit, the operating costs are $1,230 per person per year. (The private cost of transit is $720/year per rider).
Together, the cost of a bike and transit economy in the U.S. is $0.862 trillion per year.
