Terrifying finding from this new study - every 10 cm increase in a vehicle's front-end height causes a 22% increase in pedestrian-fatality risk. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
The Loop and the Durham Freeway must be gone from Durham by 2030 at the latest. This city must have a visionary approach to its public sphere — and that starts with the removal of fast, wide streets that produce crashes like these.

Wahooo! Thanks @carlfordurham !

I’ve busy getting up to speed on city council matters. Yesterday was my first-ever budget retreat. I believe I’m the first council member ever to: 1) bike to a budget retreat, and 2) advocate at that meeting to convert dangerous one-way streets to 2-way!
This is the kind of physical separation we need of all of our bike lanes in Durham. This week, I am convening an internal staff meeting to push for safer multimodal infrastructure design and will continue pushing this agenda for as long as necessary to achieve change.

Popping back in with some good news - per their IG, Pioneers will be closing at the end of February! Boycotts work!!
One of the best parts of my DC trip was having a private meeting with @PeteButtigieg of the @USDOT to discuss prioritizing urban needs related to transit and safety in the South. #Durham #transit #triangle #streetsafety #multimodal
Even when everyone does what they should, the Erwin #crisscrosscrash is still a little terrifying and #dangerousbydesign

Twenty eight (28) speeding tickets in five years. Policymakers failed to get a reckless driver off the road and now a woman is dead.

The city’s transportation director hopes Roxboro St. becomes two ways, but says first the city will have to present the findings of a traffic study happening now to NCDOT. Read more here: cbs17.com/news/local-new…

IDK who needs to see this, but here's 21 states openly admitting that their planned highway projects will increase greenhouse gas emissions, in a legal filing challenging a federal rule that would require them to tell the public...literally that exact information.
In case you want to see what 93MPH looks like. This is crazy @mayorofbullcity, @Javiera4Durham, @NateBakerDurham, @carlfordurham, @DeDreanaFreeman, @movesafedurham, & @NCDOT! Earlier today a car accelerated at me at what sounded like full throttle while crossing in a crosswalk.

Not sidewalks and not @CityofDurhamNC, but parking protected bike lanes on Franklin St! Makes sidewalk experience better than it was by a lot. Also this @NCDOT street. Let's make sure we push em to let us have better infra like this in Durham regardless of "congestion" excuses.
This mew-ish protected bike path in Grand Rapids, MI is looking good!
Also due to development off Liberty, this sidewalk on Elizabeth is closed with no good alternative. I'm also annoyed at the lack of crosswalks off Taylor so folks can get to & from Golden Belt. Could also use pedestrian islands in the middle. @CityofDurhamNC @movesafedurham

Our @movesafedurham team has activated a new pedestrian crosswalk signal on Garrett Road at @DurhamPublicSch’s Jordan High School.🚦🚶 Find out how it works on #BullCityToday.
Good to see #DurhamNC out in force to advocate for a critical safety win for adults and kids alike-turning one-way pairs, like Roxboro/Mangum, into safer two-way streets.
Over 200 people came to the meeting! Let’s keep the momentum going. Join the movement: actionnetwork.org/forms/campaign…
Get in line - awesome turnout!
Thank you, @mayorofbullcity! I do wish it didn’t take the mayor to intervene in order to get stuff like this done.

Day two in the Netherlands… Toured the world’s largest bicycle parking facility underneath one of the major train stations- includes indoor bicycle lanes, parking for 12,500 bicycles and over 1,000 shared bicycles. Fun fact, over 70% of train riders come by biking/walking.
We should legalize this in Charlottesville
This popular little coffee shop in Austin, Texas serves up some of the best coffee and breakfast tacos in the heart of a low density residential neighborhood with no off-street parking. It would be prohibited in most American neighborhoods today. 🌮 ☕️
I hope this is something completely different in ten years

@carlfordurham Councilmember Rist, thank you for putting safe streets in your budget request
The city of Durham is starting the budget season, and with that comes requests for additional spending/programs from members of council: More info: durhamnc.gov/DocumentCenter… #durhamCityBudgetRetreat
I’ve busy getting up to speed on city council matters. Yesterday was my first-ever budget retreat. I believe I’m the first council member ever to: 1) bike to a budget retreat, and 2) advocate at that meeting to convert dangerous one-way streets to 2-way!
