this *sounds* like SFMTA agreed to painting full 20-foot red curbs at every intersection, rather than the mere 10 feet at stop-controlled intersections that has been traffic engineer Ricardo Olea's policy. if so, good! parent organizing worked!

#Daylighting has two meanings: 1. removing parked cars from intersection corners 2. uncovering buried rivers and streams Eastern Queens should join the Bronx and Yonkers in the latter. "Why We Need Daylighting in #KissenaPark"

Daylighting (streams) (Habitat 🌄)
Daylighting is the opening up and restoration of a previously buried watercourse, one which had at some point been diverted below ground. Typically, the rationale behind returning the riparian environment of a stream, wash, or river to a more natural above-ground state is to reduce runoff, create habitat for species in need o...

When I worked in downtown #Oakland it seemed like there was always a #USPS van in the #daylighting red zone on 19th at Franklin. I was reminded of this by seeing one and the same sort of red zone on Modoc at Solano in #Berkeley. I wonder if ticketing needs to be augmented by physical barriers (bulbouts, posts, etc.)

Over at Orion Magazine Corinne Segal writes about “a few of the people working to bring back the rivers of the past, in form and in spirit. The shape of their projects are all different; what they share are respect for the agency of water and a deep desire to work in partnership with it. Together, their stories form a vision of what a daylighted world could look like.“
The groups and projects range from Baltimore and New York City to Auckland and Istanbul and include actual plans to restore and uncover historic waterways, as well as more artistic/interpretive efforts such as Ghost Rivers.

RT @streetfilms Montreal has the best & most beautiful #Daylighting/#CurbExtensions in North America (maybe the world?)
Look at how clear the intersection is. And beautiful. Please nominate other cities/places [in the YouTube comments]! I need to know where I should gather more video/photos from other people!

There were some fine examples of #Daylighting street corners in #WashingtonDC … still WAY too many car (not enough protected bike) lanes.
(How many cross-intersecting + x 6 lane roads does one town REALLY need?)
Still, the capital is looking better than the last time I was here.
The paint on the corners and the plastic bollard protection made this definitely more beautiful... and a bit safer, too.
Made me think of your street painting on 103rd @Iragersh

Street parking was already scarce in #Hoboken, New Jersey, when the death of an elderly pedestrian spurred city leaders to remove even more spaces in a bid to 👍end traffic fatalities.👍
For seven years now, the city of nearly 60,000 people has reported resounding success:
♦️Not a single automobile occupant, bicyclist or pedestrian has died in a traffic crash since January 2017♦️, elevating Hoboken as a national model for roadway safety.
Mayor Ravi Bhalla was a City Council member in 2015 when a van struck 89-year-old Agnes Accera as she crossed Washington Street in the bustling downtown business district. Bhalla didn’t know Accera but attended her wake and said her death inspired him to push for better safety.
“I felt it wasn’t acceptable,” Bhalla said. “Our seniors, who we owe the greatest duty of safety to, should be able to pass that street as safely as possible. For her to actually be killed was a trigger that we needed to take action.”
Bhalla became mayor in 2018 and the city fully committed to #Vision #Zero: 🔸a set of guidelines adopted by numerous cities, states and nations seeking to eliminate traffic deaths. 🔸
👉Proponents believe no accident is truly unavoidable and even want to do away with the word “accident” altogether when describing roadway fatalities.
#Sweden originated the concept more than a quarter-century ago, and U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete #Buttigieg touted Hoboken in 2022 when announcing his department would follow Vision Zero guidelines.
Major U.S. cities including #NewYork, #Minneapolis, #SanFrancisco, #Baltimore and #Portland, Oregon, have integrated aspects of the program into their safety plans,
including at least some form of #daylighting, the term for the removal of parking spaces near intersections to improve visibility.
