I feel immature for the couple of times I’ve been upset with an incrementally better but not perfect solution. Turns out it’s easy to not have all the context

Yeah agreed. I do have a newfound respect for engineers as I’ve seen them work through this. There are so many competing priorities with so many things that I’m still pretty surprised they got this done.
Maybe you’d consider voting for Mardi, Brett, Caden, and Ezra while you’re still around
Behold
Also this is only part one of the plan. Next year there will be a lot more parking in the lakefront neighborhood with angled stalls on the west side of 300 w and 2-way bike lanes on the east side. I’m a fan
Some adjustments I would have made also, but if you listen back to the past couple city council meetings, this was very narrowly approved. Also the parking doesn’t extend on the east side as far as I think it should, but the engineers were nervous about putting it around the bend in the road
After so much political upheaval, this is the design we’re getting
Photo looking down the length of a wide asphalt multi-use path. Midway through the photo it intersects a neighborhood side street. The natural through-line of the trail would be to continue straight, but the wide crosswalk painted across the street is entirely offset a full ten or twelve feet to the right, requiring users to sharply turn out of their direction of travel in order to use a curb ramp that faces diagonally into the intersection.
I *despise* stuff like this: really nice 10ft wide trail leading to the lake, but at every intersection it makes a sharp deviation to the apex of the corner in order to prioritize vehicular movement.
YES!!!! I ride this multiple times a day with my son who is about a month into riding his bike around town. Soooo many times at this intersection we’ve had sketchy moments when he goes too far into the road as someone is driving by. Just terrible. He’s been practicing just going off the curb now
Helps everybody! Hurts nobody!
We’d make the change during the pavement resealing project which we thought was this year but sounds like now it’s not. Would you be willing to meet with us + engineering staff sometime?
This is 100% the design I’ve been talking about constantly with the active transportation commission. We had the engineers in a recent meeting and it sounds like they’re maybe on board.
Fully pedestrianized street, full of people, business booming- one of many from Mayor (and Living Saint) Anne Hidalgo Rue Eugene-Jumin 19th Arrondissment, Paris Bike, Density, EU, Europe. France, Infrastructure, Urbanism, Walk
America this could be us but you playin'
Also building high density suburbs because we’re preserving single family neighborhoods in the city seems like the worst version of this
This is what I don’t get about the 1/4 acre lot folks. If you want more space in the burbs, you should be a strong advocate for very dense cities. But it seems like most just hate density everywhere.
Wish we could have bollards in more neighborhoods also
I’m sure he would love e-bikes also 🙂
My only regret from selling my car to buy some nice e-bikes is that I don’t have another car to sell to justify buying more bikes 💔
And those fools are so much worse when they’re driving cars
This is worth a read

People like Sara Cameron give me some hope for the future of Vineyard. Got elected via the same propaganda as Jake, but she’s actually been curious and learning a lot and can acknowledge that people have absurd opinions about parking
“More density lowers the quality of life,” said Daria Evans. This lady lives in a 4-plex and loves it.
The very things that people here say they’re concerned about are what they typically love most.
awesome! Thanks for the info
any chance they’d allow payments from apple wallet?
How are they different from the current ones?
