Now, if they could build some bike trails between town hall, the sports center, and the proposed economic development area (which is what used to be the town center, but now has empty buildings, which is on a major road, which used to be the old railroad) -- that would be good! As I've mentioned many times, (and as my selectboard neighbor emphasized), it's not safe to bike on the local roads (especially because of speeders and distracted drivers), and folks that ride bicycles should have places to safely ride and get from one place to another!

Hey, Toronto - despite calling yourself 'A City Within a Park', note the first photo is a lot closer to what the city actually is rather than the second. And both city and its inhabitants suffer for it.

I'll believe it when I see it.
A véloroute will be built within the slipstream of the #REM, which connects to 16 stations linking Montréal, Laval, the North Shore and the West Island, spanning at least 38 kilometres and link to existing bike paths as well as industrial parks and nature parks, like Cap St-Jacques, les Bois-de-l’Île Bizard and the future Grand parc de l’Ouest.

It is not a fuel crisis,
it is a fossil fuel crisis!Oh dear, We forgot to transition our mobility system
Go e-anything now without the matching active mobility infrastructure.This fuel crisis could last for a while. It’s time for a new approach to fuel use – end it. >>

Virtual Event - #MaineBikePed Monthly Meetups
January 19 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
"Join us for Monthly Maine Bike Ped Meetups! Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and #AlternateTransportation options. But we aren’t always talking to one another! In these virtual monthly meetings, we hope we can learn from each other’s successes and challenges, get advice, and share resources in a casual setting – a forum for those already active in the bike/ped world, as well as for those who are curious about the current work being done or who want to start their own local conversations. Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (FMI at link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."

#Urban #WildlifeCorridors Help Mitigate #Climate Effects
Kyle Chan February 26, 2025
Excerpt: "#GreenCorridors offer a promising start to mitigating these urban issues, allowing cities to naturally lower temperatures through evapotranspiration, a plant process that releases water vapor to cool the surrounding air. Increased vegetation will also allow more hazardous particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to be absorbed, reducing greenhouse gas concentration and improving air quality.
"#Columbia’s second-largest city, #Medellín, launched a green corridor initiative in 2016. Since then, environmental planners there added rows of vegetation along the most polluted avenues, maximizing the amount of CO2 intake from their $16.8 million investment. Maurício Correa, a researcher studying environmental engineering at a Colombian University, found that the 8,800 trees planted became effective 'green barriers' against particulate matter and reduced average city temperature by two degrees Celsius.
"Fighting #ClimateChange isn’t the only thing green corridors can do. Historically, #wildlife has rarely been welcomed into urban life, experiencing drastic changes in the #ecosystem. However, nature-based infrastructure can promote #biodiversity and provide animal species with a safe habitat. Green corridors are indeed multi-purpose and flexible. To maximize the limited space in busy cities, green corridors can function as recreational centers, city facilities and much more—all while mitigating climate change.
"Green corridors can be an effective solution for any city anywhere. In #NewYork, the #ManhattanWaterfrontGreenway consists of almost 32 miles of #BikePath lined with various plant species. Urban '#NatureWays' in #Singapore mimic the natural #rainforests by incorporating trees with #canopies stretching across the roads."

Live in #TeWhanganuiATara #Wellington? Think it’s perhaps not all about cars? Love spending your time tapping forcefully on keyboards?
Here’s yet another opportunity to tell the big end of town what kind of city you want. They are keen on 1970s LA concrete salad. Scaling a city around cars has it all wrong. I’ll admit I’m a bit partial to a tunnel (Norway, the Faroes, Seatoun 🤓) but the economics here is off the chart in the wrong direction. Give us #publictransport, #bikepaths #walkways.

For all those bicyclist voters in #CambridgeMA attached find a useful graphic from Cambridge Bike Safety regarding the candidate's support of safe streets.
Remember, in ranked choice voting it's important to NOT rank any candidate whom you would NOT want to see voted in.

"I grew up in Grand Prairie, not a huge biking city. I had no idea bike infrastructure even existed until I moved to Vancouver & saw my first separated #BikePaths. I was like, 'oh my God! You could just do this!' Since then, I've biked my entire adult life as my main mode of transportation." #yyc

At about 10 miles long, the Norwottuck Rail Trail connects Northampton and Amherst, MA.
There are little spots to pull off to discover meadows, woods, and scenic sitting areas.

"The Eastern Trail is a 62 mile multi-use, non-motorized greenway, that connects Bug Light in Casco Bay, South Portland to Kittery, Maine. Approximately thirty percent of the trail is off-road, and the trail is a part of the #EastCoastGreenway which will eventually connect #CalaisMaine to #KeyWestFlorida, approximately 3000 miles. The Eastern Trail is currently composed of 21 miles of off-road trails on the former Eastern Railroad bed with the remainder 41 miles on public roads.
"The entirety of the Eastern Trail is built to ADA standards. The trail surface varies between pavement and stone dust/gravel. Most of the trail is 10-12 feet wide, with some sections with an 8-foot width. There is a 30-inch opening between the bollards at entrances to keep out motorized vehicles, but wide enough to allow access for wheelchairs.
"The off-road section connecting Scarbrough to Saco privdes access to the 2200-acre Scarborough Marsh, which is Maine's largest salt marsh. Heading north on the trail from Pine Point (ME-9) or south from Eastern Road in Scarborough provides access to this 2.5 mile stretch of trail.
"Heading south from Pine Point Road, the trail crosses the York County and Cumberland County boundaries and users can walk/bike from Scarborough, through Old Orchard Beach to Saco, where the current-off-road trail ends at Thornton Academy in Saco, approximately 6 miles from the Pine Point kiosk.
"There are kiosks at 3 parking areas, that give some history and points of interest along the trail. For example, the Eastern Trail is built on the old Eastern #Railroad line that was built in 1840 and abandoned in 1945. Also, Charles Lindberg flew into the now abandoned Scarborough airport several times. And, a trestle once carried open air trolleys from the rail line to Old Orchard Beach for summer tourists."
