Gimme that gucci barricade

We want the same thing. I wish you and other local advocates success in your fight for a safer corridor.

Hi Shana. I am referencing the portion in the image. Very sorry to hear about Dr. Friedes being killed on an unprotected portion of this roadway. Dr. Naji Tanios Kayruz being hit and killed while I was living in San Antonio was a radicalizing event for me. I wish the local efforts luck.

I wish you luck with whatever your goal or hope is for the corridor.

While I'd personally prefer fully grade separated, armadillo protected within the turn/merge zone of the intersection is still quite good.

If you go one comment down you'll see that there are armadillos. At least within 30ft+ of the intersection. I hope they grade separate or fully curb protect when it is reconstructed, but most advocates in most of the country would kill for this much.

Gotta get the bus mounted auto enforcement cameras approved. Here and everywhere

I consider armadillos to count. I do wish they ran the full length with merge spaces though.

Sure, but we're talking about cities with well planned transportation grids ;)

I'm not sure, but I did see a charter bus come down this street. I think everyone involved was uncomfy. My guess though is heavy freight trucks opt for the wider arterials.

2 foot thick reinforced concrete as the material of choice says a lot about current vehicle behavior on Lake despite the 4 to 3 conversion. Is it better? Undoubtedly. Did it go far enough? *Taps the image*

Or scoop it like the similarly snowy Montreal.

Many bluff towns like St Paul and Duluth, are hilly as hell compared to Philly, NY, Baltimore, Chicago, DC etc. Let's not excuse sloppy planning.

The secret is having been built in the 1700s. And then getting protected/updated through the urban renewal era. The accessibility of the near frontage housing stock leaves something to be desired, but there are modern high rises a block or two away. And because this is rare, it is affluent.

Another angle. And yes, it snows here.

This ~10ft lane roadway has a bus route, protected bikeway, wide tree lined sidewalks, and single side parking in a historic district old enough that few houses have garages. I will never shut up about this. It is always political will, not geometry.

Edmonton continues to show it's possible to have newly built, ground-oriented housing for families in existing neighbourhoods at a reasonable price. You only have to make it legal and feasible. Here's a 3bed for $1,895 with a $500 lease signing bonus.

I think this sign belongs to someone who has done this either more than once OR who has been flung over the handlebars so magnificently. I just sorta fell sideways in slow motion.

Everyone loses when cars "win"

Take every 'urban renewal' era downtown surface lot and turn it into a Rittenhouse style park (and or housing).
