Happy Monday! Frank is absolutely losing his SH!T on NextDoor in multiple posts/comments. His original post got shut down bc he went against Community Guidelines. He can’t grasp that ND is a private platform so his version of free speech doesn’t apply. 🤣🤡 @Frank13Enderle #CVUSD
Here's the question. Is this a fair test or more like a way to do less to make drivers happy?
The agenda is out for our Wednesday TTAC meeting where we will be discussing Hillcrest Drive Bike Lanes and Pedestrian Improvements…
Okay, so what are we discussing?
Public outreach has begun as to the Hillcrest portion of the project, with a demonstration phase starting in May.
What say you bike community? @CalBike @TOAcornNews @BeccaWhitnall @KyleBJorrey @VCYimby @move_vc @technotion_

↪️ PASSED ASSEMBLY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE: AB 2583, which reduces speed limits in school zones to 15 mph, aligning California with the school zone policy in dozens of other states. Introduced by @AsmMarcBerman, this bill passed unanimously with bipartisan support!

"Daylighting can be done cheaply and creatively with simple materials such as bollards, planters, and bike racks. This checklist lists more than 25 materials that can contribute to daylighting projects. Here are some examples of this practice done well across North America."
Excited to see that @CityofTO TTAC will have a discussion on AB 413, a daylighting bill that was signed by @GavinNewsom last October.
What is daylighting? Here’s a great article from my friends at @StrongTowns on it:

“Andrew Pletcher, who chairs the Thousand Oaks Traffic and Transportation Commission, said a proposed Assembly bill (AB 825) seeks to give all cyclists in California the option of riding on sidewalks in certain situations. This would provide them a safer place to pedal when streets are too narrow or there are no bike lanes.
This is a “fantastic bill,” Pletcher told the Acorn.
“I think it’s a great approach for cities to give another option for bicyclists who don’t feel safe on local roads.” – at Thousand Oaks, CA

We have so many surface streets in @CityofTO that 'scream "wide open highway". Signs won't slow drivers down. Time to redesign?
"People don’t drive based on signage. They drive based on the design of the street. In the case of Olympic Boulevard, the design screams “wide open highway,” a lot like PCH. Hazardous as this is to all, it is most dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists" latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Hey, @CityofTO Traffic Engineers. Remember how you told us that wider lanes were safer? Not so much. Study: 12 Ft. Lanes Are Deadlier Than 10 Ft. Ones — So Why Do Many DOTs Build Them Anyway? usa.streetsblog.org/2023/11/…
The driver who struck and killed a pedestrian in TO at Kimber and Baxter Street on 10/15 was a 16-yr-old. The teen was driving east on Kimber when her vehicle left the road and struck a man walking in the bike lane. The incident may have involved "possible inattention"

Last year, according to Governors Highway Safety Association, 7,500 pedestrians were killed while walking on U.S. roads. Between 2010-2021 pedestrian deaths rose 77 percent, from an annual total of 4,302 to 7,624. These increases represent 40-year-highs

Who or what is to blame for this terrible increase in pedestrian fatalities? For starters, there is the proliferation of bigger and heavier trucks and SUVs, which may pose a growing menace to pedestrians and bicyclists.

We can do so much better in @CityofTO. Residents want a community where walking and biking are safe and enjoyable. It should be a higher priority.
