Some of the most basic technical resources #cities use to build #bikelanes and #sidewalks were housed on a single government website
“the #CompleteStreets website simply gathered resources on how to #design roads that feel safe for everyone, no matter how they move”
“decades of largely publicly funded research on the #safety impacts of things like #bikelanes, #sidewalks and #roaddiets, which communities across America rely heavily on” usa.streetsblog.org/2025/02/24

usa.streetsblog.org · 'Complete Streets' Webpage Falls Prey To Trump Purge — Streetsblog USASome of the most basic technical resources cities use to build bike lanes and sidewalks were housed on a single government website, which was scrubbed shortly after Trump's inauguration. Now, advocates are scrambling to replace them.

Less than 10% of the Moving Atlanta Forward funds have been spent since being approved by voters.

"Unfortunately, no sidewalk or Safe Streets projects are complete yet, and few have made substantial progress almost three years into the program."

Propel ATLInching Atlanta Forward?Inching Atlanta Forward? We were disheartened, but not surprised, to read the City Auditor's Office review of the Moving Atlanta Forward (MAF) infrastructure package, which found that only $47 million, less than 10 percent of the $460 approved by Atlanta voters in 2022 for transportation projects, had been spent as of August 2024. MAF represented a big step forward for sidewalks and safe streets, investing $196.5 million for sidewalks and trails, $108 million in safe streets projects and protected bike lanes, and $32 million in street repairs. It was funded by a combination of bonds and a renewal of a Special Option Local Sales Tax (SPLOST). Unfortunately, no sidewalk or Safe Streets projects are complete, and few have made substantial progress almost three years into the program. To compound the issue, the audit found that the least amount of funds were spent in council districts with the highest poverty rates.

Early pandemic I was on a panel with Warren Logan, working then on Oakland's open streets. He's now running for Oakland City Council. Great interview with him on The Overhead Wire theoverheadwire.com/2024/08/un. Great line that maybe what should be "permanent" in street design is flexibility: play streets during summer, market streets, festival streets. Love it.

#CACompleteStreets
Why California needs the Complete Streets Bill:

California Dept of #Transportation / #Caltrans is often the gap in the transport network. When Caltrans routes border or intersect with local #CompleteStreets projects, it’s vital that Caltrans follow these efforts; and that requires investing new money into complete streets.

Make #biking, #walking, and taking #transit safer: Yes on CA Senate Bill 960 / #SB960. Take action now with California Bicycle Coalition / #CalBike: calbike.org/our_initiatives/st

i am *not imagining* that, on average, driving has gotten worse compared to pre-pandemic. (further, i believe we will eventually find that some fraction of this phenomenon stems from Covid-created brain damage.) here’s a US study showing exactly how much worse it got:-

#introduction
New instance new intro!!

I'm somcak, a #librarian currently in #Ohio. I have 2 mini #dachshunds and 2 #cats. I enjoy all sorts of music, yes, even death metal on occasion!

I've been on Mastodon since October 2022, and this is my 5th server.

I use content warnings for all sorts of stuff, just trying to be considerate! I always make sure there's #AltText and #CamelCase for my own posts as well as those I boost. #Accessibility matters.
I enjoy learning about #history and #archeology, particularly the #neolithic. I'm also interested in #UrbanPlanning and how we can make communities greener. I have an #ebike and care about #CompleteStreets.

“The predominant history tells us that the status quo with #CarDependency is because that’s what ‘Americans’ — as if that’s a thing — have always wanted,” he said. “And what makes my jaw drop when I look back at the historical record is that that was never true … There was never a moment when lots of Americans weren’t fighting #CarDomination.”

Three-pane graphic of a city. Left: :Fossil fuel vehicles (cars dominate the image) Middle: Electric vehicles (identical to left panel) Right: "Walking, biking & public transit" (real neighbourhood with homes, stores, tram in the middle of the street) I would have added just a few more cars to this frame - I mean, we do have neighbours that can't get around without in a rather literal way.

Hi, all,

My #introduction: I'm a prof at #NortheasternUniversity, with a joint appointment in #philosophy and #CS

I'm part of a multi-disciplinary team (cssh.northeastern.edu/ethics/a) focused on researching and teaching the #ethics of #EmergingTech, especially #SocialRobots, #DataEthics, and the highly misleadingly named #AIEthics, to humanists, STEM students, and external groups.

I'm also a #bicycling enthusiast and participant in groups dedicated to bicycle advocacy and #CompleteStreets.
