I have seen the promised land and it is Hoboken. There's so much similarity to Alexandria, even down to the lovely park underneath a big ol bridge! Congrats on the vision zero achievement, Hoboken, you've got a fabulous little city.

"Bike infrastructure is wheelchair infrastructure" @wdncnu.bsky.social
Many elderly and disabled people depend on our bike lane network, and yet are somehow completely invisible to and neglected by society.

I was the one who got the video of this near collision. I use @dashcam.bike and recommend it. It is an app that makes your phone into a dashcam, and although the quality isn't great, any video is good evidence. Data, even @abdelelnoubi.bsky.social
Owner of this account taking the mic to speak personally. A note on why we need infrastructure.
I had to take kid to an appointment in old town. I didn’t have a car available.
I took the safest route I could with my kid on the bike of my cargo bike.

I'm not voting for her again, very disappointed.
I’d like to point out that @greenejacinta.bsky.social said on the dais that she recently saw a cyclist almost hit on Braddock Road and then voted to oppose safety improvements on the corridor a few short hours later.

The swag from the Carlyle bike to work day pit stop might be the best I've ever had. Last year the Carlyle Council was trying to veto the Holland Ln bike lanes, so is this how they're saying sorry?

Bike lanes are very popular and we deserve a full build out of Staff's recommendations for Braddock Road.
In cities, building is continuous
We can build for cars or we can build for people
To save democracy, we need to center people
I don't vote for politicians who support cars over people
Ever
