“Neighborhood greenways will also greatly improve the walking environment throughout the city by limiting interactions with motor vehicles & improving the experience of crossing the street.”

“Some blocks may fully remove motor vehicle access, others may narrow the vehicular travel space by half, and other blocks could primarily focus on intersection treatments such as curb extensions, median refuge islands, and traffic circles” Do we see this in the bicycle boulevards?

 Neighborhood greenways will be linear and have logical beginning and end points, typically connecting to other bikeways on the All Ages and Abilities Network as they are installed. Each block will be unique based on the context of the neighborhood, technical analysis, and community engagement. Some blocks may fully remove motor vehicle access, others may narrow the vehicular travel space by half, and other blocks could primarily focus on intersection treatments such as curb extensions, median refuge islands, and traffic circles. Neighborhood greenways can be installed with a street reconstruction or as an independent project, which could install a concrete barrier to provide space for the bikeway. All greenways will be designed and built to accommodate emergency vehicles. Neighborhood greenways may also be used for flooding and stormwater management mitigation. access, others may narrow the vehicular travel space by half, and other blocks could primarily focus on intersection treatments such as curb extensions, median refuge islands, and traffic circles.

I totally respect the people that have muted me when this is the stuff I get up to when I’m in a mood

It’s been suggested that I try to “out-expert the experts,” but I reject that on two levels: 1) A well educated layman who puts in the work can absolutely bring receipts 2) I resent the attitude that groups like the BAC are just about vibes. “Oh geez, Mr. Planner, I just feel unsafe over there”

The whole “low-stress” or “feel safe” thing skirts accountability to whether one IS safe. Outta here with your “feeling safe.” We’ll feel safe when we are safe, and you can access studies to determine which designs are more or less prone to death and injury
