Those priorities, per the chief supporters, were highways. A provision revealed in markup yesterday showed that dedicated funding for transit would also disappear. An amendment to restore enhancements and Safe Routes to Schools failed [...] February 3rd, 2012 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle laws, bicyclists, common sense, election, evaluation, federal funds, legislation, pedestrian access, politics, road construction, roadway design, roadway use, safe routes to schools, share the road, taxes, transportation options, urban planning | Leave a comment
Streetsblog reports that there is a rough summary of the proposed panic-worthy transportation bill being considered in committee. They do a rundown on it, and refer to it as “A March of Horribles.” One key thing in their summary to consider is that the bill refers to projects like the Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program as “not in the federal [...] January 27th, 2012 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle laws, bicyclists, federal funds, legislation, minneapolis, non-motorized transportation pilot program, pedestrian access, politics, transportation options, urban planning | Leave a comment
via http://www.tcstreetsforpeople.org Our pals at Twin Cities Streets for People recently highlighted the not-a-crosswalk-crosswalks now in existence along the Cedar Lake Trail.

The coverage is pretty reasonable (although they did spell my name wrong online, ooga booga). It hit two of the things I emphasized, although some of the quote was me, some from [...] June 9th, 2011 | Category: bicycle advocacy, bicycle alliance of minnesota, bicycle commuting, bicycle laws, bicycle safety, bicyclists, bike education, bike to work week, cycling in the media, cycling on TV, education, league of american bicyclists, minneapolis, minnesota, roadway use, share the road | 8 comments - (Comments are closed)

There’s been a bit of kerfuffle in Oregon this week over a charity bike event gone somewhat awry. It’s been covered over on BikePortland quite a bit. Essentially, as the story goes, law enforcement in a small town on the route of a large charity ride had complained to the organizers in past year that cyclists [...] May 26th, 2011 | Category: bicycle laws, bicycle safety, bike events, common sense, oregon, roadway use, share the road | Comments are closed
