Sidenote: I don't understand driver behavior in big parking lots like this. Presumably almost every driver shares the same experience of parking & walking to/from their car & the adjacent building. And yet, when leaving, so many drive like they'll hit any pedestrian in the way. 1/2
Laura G MitchellI am genuinely concerned when I see folks park like this in giant suburban medical center parking lots. Did the driver do this: -bc they aren’t safe to drive? -bc there was a car in the space next to them encroaching on this spot & they really wanted it anyway? Or just for… fun?
Folks act like cities are so unsafe, but the biggest threat to my kids' lives so far this week was walking through a parking lot into a pediatric dentist's office in Edina... a suburb that loves to force car dependency on everyone who lives there and visits. www.startribune.com/edina-bike-l...
In this battle over an Edina bike lane, the cars wonA unanimous vote to largely preserve parking on Wooddale Avenue in Edina reflects the growing tension between long-term bike plans and established neighborhoods.www.startribune.comLaura G MitchellMy kids are very experienced pedestrians (and old enough now that I don't have to worry about them darting out in front of a car) and yet we had close calls both walking INTO and OUT of the building today for their dentist appointments bc others were driving at such unsafe speeds through the lot.

Gallup: "One in three U.S. adults (34%) name road-related accidents as their most top-of-mind daily safety risk, more than twice the global average of 14%. Roughly one in five (19%) point to crime and violence, compared with a global average of 10%."

I don't know why people keep saying this. It's just plain wrong. Many more people are injured & killed on sidewalks by cars than by bikes.

I don't mind bikes, but the safety hazard of bikes on the sidewalk, when there are bike lanes 1 & 2 blocks west. What I have learned, the original plan was to have Dusable/LSD continue north along lake. But that was scrapped to route along Sheridan.
