We will say it louder for all the fiscal conservatives out there.
BIKE LANES ARE A GREAT RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

“A new cost-benefit study in New Zealand finds that investments in cycling & walking facilities outweigh the costs of building them by 10 to 1. The research found that the most important economic benefits were health gains from use of active transport.” ebikes-international.com/new…

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath fastcompany.com/3062989/50-r…

This Saturday night, we're riding bikes and giving out lights.
The 8 mile route leaves from outside the shop at 8pm. Anyone that wants a brand new set of lights can get them from us for FREE.

The commission is now discussing an updated complete streets policy, which is a big step forward -- it actually has teeth (unlike the previous one).

Never forget, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. As for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. V/@StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/…
