I'd happily take a introductory car maintenance course from a non-carcentric mechanic. I.e a mechanic who is down with the #strongTowns, #safeStreets, #banCars agenda

Our #CalBike partner San Francisco Bike Coalition has an excellent new video, a message also relevant for Monterey County and virtually everywhere! https://youtu.be/kDLgzs_Q2cc?si=AkcqgxLgu5NrkCad

And if you prefer, as we do, to watch/listen to videos via #DuckDuckGo's Duck Player, instead of on Youtube, refer to https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/duck-player/.

People who bike or walk to Taqueria El Kiosko on Williams Road at Alisal Street will be among the many celebrating these infrastructure improvements! https://www.transportation.gov/grants/ss4a/2023-awards

U.S. DOT's Safe Streets and Roads for All grants announced 12/13/23 include $16M to the #MontereyCounty seat and its largest city, Salinas. The work on the Williams Road Safe Streets Corridor Project—where 11 pedestrians and bicyclists were reported to have lost their lives from 2017-2021—will include constructing a single-lane #roundabout at the Williams Rd and East Market St intersection, installing #CurbExtensions, new lights and signals, and raised, buffered #BicycleLanes. https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2023-12/SS4A-2023-Implementation-Grant-Award-Fact-Sheets.pdf

I'm reviewing older studies and thought I'd share this one from Charlotte, NC.

Incorporating #CompleteStreets elements into road project adds a little to the costs, but overall fluctuations in construction costs dwarf those. https://doi.org/10.3141/2393-15

“Speed is so central to what generates mistakes and what makes them deadly,” says @BethO on CBS Sunday Morning. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/the-rise-in-pedestrian-fatalities/

Chicago offers lessons in automated traffic enforcement:

1. Fines and late fees can be a huge burden for some.

2. Disadvantaged communities may bear the brunt.

3. It can seem like a money grab (or actually be one).

4. Safe road design is also important.

Traditionally, speed limits were set based on how fast the top 15% of drivers travel. State agencies in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Washington, and others are leaning into new approaches that prioritize safety and speed management. https://ssti.us/2023/05/30/state-dots-are-helping-locals-set-lower-speed-limits/
