"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them."

Every city or county with a commitment to Vision Zero should have an ad like this playing in their local market.

Enjoyed chatting to @bbcnickrobinson about growing up in Swindon, how I once used to be a reasonably good sportswoman (yes, I know that’s hard to believe) and all things transport.🎧👇

From The Guardian:
If road deaths were a virus, we’d call it a pandemic. Safer transport helps us all – and we need it urgently theguardian.com/global-devel…
We're doing a citywide audit on cycle parking, and will feed results back to @CityofYork but it's clear there's not enough and we need some that's secure. In recent months we've even seen some removed - remember those at the corner of Parliament St/High Ousegate? 🤨

We're doing Staffed Cycle Parking this weekend - come see us!
We also want businesses to offer cycle parking that's visible and safe. Share our guide with businesses/local places you visit - it's proven to be good for business!

❗ New: Watch our video to find out about the nearly £300 million in funding we've announced to boost walking, wheeling and cycling in communities across England: activetravelengland.gov.uk/n… 🚶 👩🦽 🚲
Questions to be asked of @CityofYork - when will #York see completion of existing projects like Jubilee Terrace, Tadcaster Rd, Acomb and Badger Hill school road safety improvements, and the biggest; Shipton Rd Rawcliffe P&R to Bootham.? #ActiveTravel
2023 scheme was for Jubilee Terrace riverside path upgrade which has still not progressed beyond design stage. In 2024 @CityofYork got only revenue funding of £108k which has not been reported as being spent on anything! So £500k while welcome will not go very far even 1 scheme!
York Cycle Campaign retweeted
£300m nationally, when some motorway junction 'improvements' are costing that much for a single scheme! @CityofYork funds cut in half compared to 2023 + 2024 because those approved projects not been delivered yet! Need to up pressure on CYC now that have a Transport plan.

@YorkCycle @YorkHSForum @indieyorkmap @Shambles_Market @iTravelYork @JorvikViking @theyorkbid The Free Pop Up Bike Park at Minster Refectory will be staying open late on Saturday 22nd February 10 am - 9pm . Why not come into York on your bike and let us make sure it’s safe . 🚲🚲

Perhaps the Bus Forum and the Civic Trust will finally be able to visualise that the placement of the cycle track makes an additional accessible bus stop an impossibility - like I, and the Access Officer said all along…
