Excerpt from "A Poem for Roadkill" by River Elizabeth Hall, a WA state poet:

"What if we pulled over,
got close enough to feel the death-rattle
shake the air against our skin?

Offered regret for getting in the way
with our roads, our tires, our glass?"

I currently keep my Mastodon use only on personal device so I can't easily post updates from the AASHTO 2nd Annual Safety Summit. I'm live tweeting some of my notes you-know-where starting here https://x.com/BarbChamberlain/status/1846183526254928126?t=Td8BA-RKWEAfb_CYtl3UnA&s=19.

"It is not possible to prioritize everyone.

Every decision has tradeoffs, and it’s clear who those choices prioritize when you consider the comfort, ease, and safety of different users. When it’s faster, easier, safer, and more comfortable to get somewhere by driving, we are prioritizing driving." --Anna Zivarts

Seattle DOT director Greg Spotts notes the need to think about streets along the edge of a park and whether they support the park's purpose. By turning a fast, noisy slip lane that slingshots drivers into Green Lake into a barrier-protected 2-way bike lane, the change reduced noise and the traffic effect of SR99 at that spot. Much more parklike.

Yesterday and today I'm on a tour for state legislators highlighting the Safe System Approach. We're in Seattle looking at the protected 2-way bike lane on Green Lake that repurposed a parking lane. One segment converted a 2-way street to 1-way, which eliminated drivers blasting through here like it's a racetrack. Includes a segment on SR99 that closes a gap.

Reread a poem this morning that I included in one of my transportation poetry round-ups (http://bikestylespokane.com/2024/02/17/how-we-get-where-were-going-transportation-poems/).

“The News in Southwest Minnesota” by Marianne Murphy Zarzana

"The victim, following the rules of the road, still unsafe, vulnerable.
The intersection, unconsciously aiding and abetting fatal collisions."
