With Seattle on path to miss 2030 goal, CM Saka calls for an audit of the Vision Zero program

Coming from Saka, this request smacks of an attempt to further derail the city's Vision Zero effort. I hope I'm wrong.

I served on many of the committees of these vital transportation safety projects in #cville that are being cancelled, delayed, or reduced in scope and I am sorry to see that happen, but I appreciate the hard work that City Manager Sanders is doing to fix our broken processes and get actual projects actually done. #safestreets #projectmanagement #processimprovement #inflation #vdot #timekillsdeals https://open.substack.com/pub/communityengagement/p/november-13-2024-charlottesvilles

I'm happy to stumble on this #vdot report on pedestrian safety from a few years ago. I haven't read the whole thing, but a quick review makes it look reasonable, grounded in data, and based on the real world. I don't know a lot about how we are thinking about safety at the state level in #virginia , but this gives me some hope https://www.vdot.virginia.gov/media/vdotvirginiagov/doing-business/technical-guidance-and-support/transportation-and-mobility/bicycle-and-pedestrian/treatments/VDOT_PSAP_Report_052118_with_Appendix_A_B_C.pdf #walkable #safestreets

Apropos of nothing, here are a couple of lovely "bodaboda" bicycle taxis from Uganda. I found these on Flickr while working today.

Anyone have experience with Edge Lane Roads? They seem like a great solution for streets that have constrained widths or are many years away from ever getting sidewalks or bike lanes. Here’s a great video about them from Vail, Colorado: https://vimeo.com/936813895 #BikeTooter #CompleteStreets #BikeLane #sidewalk #EdgeLane #AdvisoryLane #Provincetown #Vail #Yarmouth #CapeCod #SafeStreets

I heard some troubling things last night at the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission board meeting about possible changes to Virginia's SMART SCALE transportation funding system, cutting the annual application limit in half and potentially reducing funding for bicycle and pedestrian safety. I am working to understand what is happening and what can be done. https://www.virginiamercury.com/2023/03/23/virginia-to-conduct-in-depth-review-of-smart-scale-process/ #safestreets #climate #equity #virginia #urbanism #biketooter #vdot #cville
