And this is why people say ACAB. What training, courses, ramifications do police need to create a culture of safety where stuff like this has consequences?

It would be good for people to get in front of this by wording contracts to include restrictions on participation in meetings while driving.

Evanston’s Streets Have Become Safer For Cyclists. What’s The Suburb Doing Right? blockclubchicago.org/2024/01/08/eva… via @BlockClubCHI "Evanston has seen traffic-related injuries in the last decade fall by nearly half and the city went five years without a death, state records show."
I helped out with this study!
I’ve spent much of this year learning about car bloat, the process through which smaller vehicles are being replaced by increasingly massive SUVs and trucks. What I’ve learned: Huge cars are terrible for society, often in ways that are hidden. A summary 🧵

Chicago Urbanist @chi_urbanist
19K Followers 5K FollowingI want to frame this response. It is a perfect example of what is wrong with our transportation system & why planners are failing society to keep us safe.
Not a mini-roundabout. And this is creating a deadly fixed object (DFO) for errant vehicles. There are better and safer ways to calm traffic for all users, such as an actual mini-roundabout.
@JTrea81 If a driver is incapable of avoiding a Fixed Object, why should we trust them to avoid more fragile, moving objects such as children and my neighbors?
@JTrea81 This is the middle of a 4-way stop sign. Can you explain how it’s possible for this fixed object to be deadly without a driver running the stop sign as a prerequisite?
@JTrea81 It's incredible how every single tweet I read from a transportation engineer diminishes my trust in the profession.
@JTrea81 If you can't avoid hitting the "Deadly Fixed Object" that is brightly painted and has grasses waving in the wind on what is probably a 25mph side street, you shouldn't be operating a vehicle at all. What you're describing is a horrendously bad driver.
@JTrea81 If someone drives into those at the speed one is allowed to drive in the residential area it's in, it is highly unlikely to be a deadly encounter On the other hand, have you seen what people wearing cars have been doing to pedestrians and cyclists? Maybe we need better engineers
@JTrea81 Just to be clear, on a street like this, the concrete is not the serious hazard, but speeding drivers are. Car damage is much preferred to human damage. See also: bollards.
@JTrea81 Drivers who break the law and hit things while they’re driving aggressively/inattentively should be the ones who die, not the pedestrians walking on the sidewalk who did nothing wrong. Hope this helps your moral decrepitude
Been a while since I've seen a book cover go this hard
@SkywayTuff2s Cars, including electric ones, are about the worst thing imaginable for the environment. So degrading walking (which has NO emissions) to charge personal cars is terrible policy. If you care about the environment, take the train.
Cars are a 2 to 3 ton piece of *personal* property. Owning a car should does not entitle the owner to degrade the commons or the use of public land. Car owners should charge their car on their own land or rent land for this purpose.
I can't decide if I like these or not. They solve the solution of cables on the pavement but by making drivers feel even more entitled to the space outside a house and if they have to park a couple of spaces over they can't charge the car or have to run an extension cord anyway.
You're not closing the street to cars, you're opening it up for people.
Newark Street in Jersey City went car free a few years ago and I just wonder why we didn’t do it earlier…
I will never understand how being carried around in a luxury, motorized, climate controlled easy chair like a medieval princess got coded as “manly” and braving the elements, danger and using physical strength to power one’s journey got coded “metro” or whatever word they use.
One of the greatest triumphs of the motor industry is to make men in the U.K feel inadequate if they don’t own a monster truck. In the Netherlands, people like Guy - who I met in Assen today - don’t seemed bothered by that at all. Which we all know is the real way to be cool.
@lab_laugh I can’t imagine he/she didn’t check it was 100% safe, especially with their child on board, before doing it, so I can’t get steamed up about it. Spirit of the law v letter of the law etc. I cycle, motorcycle and drive, so I’ve no beef
I’ve spent much of this year learning about car bloat, the process through which smaller vehicles are being replaced by increasingly massive SUVs and trucks. What I’ve learned: Huge cars are terrible for society, often in ways that are hidden. A summary 🧵
I sat in on the Public Safety Appropriations Committee yesterday & listened to the panel on Public Transit. Deeply disappointed in more of the same. “Nothing is wrong with what we are doing or how we do it. We just need more money to do it.” No Revenue without Reform.
literally just compare the way metra is being run to the cta. this is an awesome move in the right direction & it proves that with competent leadership better things are indeed possible
Metra is significantly boosting weekend service on the BNSF Line, adding trains on Saturdays and even more on Sundays to create the same schedule for both weekend days. There will also be weekday changes on the new schedule, which starts on April 29. metra.com/newsroom/metra…
Important work. Trucks are such a regular part of life on the South and SW Sides. You can’t walk, bike, or drive w/o navigating trucks. It’s why many choose not to be on foot or bike. Addressing truck traffic is a key part of any efforts to make it more bikeable or walkable.
"A sea of trucks" disproportionately pollutes Black and Brown neighborhoods in Chicago. @WBEZ reports: buff.ly/43ItDeI
