Research shows that it can be less stressful to talk to someone when you’re walking side by side, with minimal eye contact, than conversing face to face. Here are some tips to get the most out of your strolling chats. nyti.ms/3MZmLBR

This!
Households in Denver’s densest neighborhoods drive less. For example, a 30% increase in population density is associated with a 1,000-mile decrease in annual household driving.
👀 this chart (thank you @CNT_tweets for the data & @Sightline for the inspiration!)

Someone’s made a nice visual aid showing how @TfL’s Lowering Speeds Programme is making our streets safer:

Q: What makes people cross? 😡
A: Waiting more than 30 seconds for the green man ⌛️
Today Living Streets launches its new #BetterCrossings campaign, calling for reduced waiting times for pedestrians at signal-controlled crossings.

“The problem isn’t gentrification. It’s displacement. Gentrification is an infusion of dollars into a community, which we want… The problem is we are reactive, not proactive. Need to come together to plan for anti-displacement measures” @ctbrown1911 #MPF2023

Guys the Coral Gables Police had a Halloween installation on Miracle Mile where the premise was, I guess, they ran some people over? Pretty chilling.

It's time for an early reminder: Victim blaming kids on Halloween is WRONG.
Safety starts with street engineers and licensed, adult drivers. Period.
Halloween is the ONE holiday left that upholds the youth and pedestrian-friendly street. Let's keep it that way.

The driver who struck NFL coach Greg Knapp from behind, in broad daylight, while Knapp rode in a painted bike lane on a six-lane road, will not face criminal charges.
This is not accountability. And *no* crash like this is an accident.

Fun fact for your Monday: the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill has $1 billion to reconnect BIPOC communities torn in half by highways, and $110 billion to build more highways just like it.
The dismantling of Black communities for highways is not just a thing of the past. It’s happening now a few miles north of Charleston...at a time when @POTUS and @SecretaryPete have vowed to stop it.
Instead they are supercharging it with the infra bill.

Yes! Free and accessible public restrooms are a critical part of our pedestrian infrastructure, and denying them in a widely overlooked street safety issue.

There are several powerful virtuous cycles of street trees that benefit so many parts of the built environment and the people who inhabit it. As we spend more time outdoors, no single element plays a larger role in benefitting us than street trees. cnu.org/publicsquare/2020/08…

"Of course, not every owner of a performance vehicle is out to kill, but it also doesn’t mean we shouldn’t rigorously regulate them right now and rein in the disturbing messaging that winds up being delivered on our streets." - @TomFloodOne bit.ly/3iSjGWs

The traffic violence crisis alone should be reason enough to end universal car dependency in America. The climate crisis makes it an absolute mandate.

Designing slower-speed roadways moves us away from police involvement in traffic enforcement, mitigating the #Arrestedmobility that Black/brown people experience due to police profiling & underinvestment. @rebeccalsanders @PedBikeBob usa.streetsblog.org/2021/07/…

The person killed by a driver while cycling yesterday in Boulder is Alejandro Acosta Obando.
Investigators say he was traveling straight, had right of way, driver turned into him.
His wife is 4 months pregnant with their first child.
I am so sorry.

Honored to have been invited by #MSNBC to discuss disparities in #traffic fatalities with Rev. Al Sharpton. #Black and #Native Americans fatalities were up even during the pandemic when fewer miles were driven. #Arrestedmobility #equity #healthequity lnkd.in/ecYvZkU
