A critical gap in the bike network is now finally filled — thanks to community advocacy.

What was once a stressful detour near Pier 66 is now a smooth, protected connection to the Elliott Bay Trail.

You know what I want for my California #bikeinfrastructure ? To go ride into town for date night or to nature without ever once having a car at my elbow. Close, Davis, close. #davisca

I keep seeing op-eds about more bike paths but never about re-purposing some of the gridded roads. #bikesky

Biking on the painted bike lanes of Pacific Highway is tolerable when you get rid of the 6 lanes of speeding car drivers.

It not be as high a level of #BikeInfrastructure as the vaunted #BryantAveBikeway in @cityminneapolis.bsky.social, but I sure think @stlouispark.bsky.social knocked it out of the park with the #CedarLakeRoadBikeway! Separated, cleared in winter, reasonably wide, ... #TopNotch #BikeMore
Cedar Lake Road bikeway. Pavement markings show a bicycle symbol and an arrow indicating direction of travel. Bikeway is separated horizontally and vertically with a curb from driving lane.

The #MidtownGreenway is without question the most significant part of Minneapolis' (and the entire metro region's) #BikeInfrastructure! The literal backbone of the system.

Huzzah, and many kudos to those people with the foresight and will to get it done!!!

We tried to install bike racks near businesses where they would be in high demand — So fun to see them being used immediately!

(Dinkytown Target install pictured, also bike posts installed along Washington Ave near the UMN campus. Riverplace along SE Main St soon.)

It has taken us 15+ years of advocacy to get past environmental & security concerns, but the Dorchester extension of the Neponset River Greenway trail is now open! It takes people off of busy Freeport St and around the highway ramp from the Expressway onto Morrissey Blvd.

We will continue to push for safe streets for all people in Ontario and especially for those in the Region of Waterloo.
We are disappointed that those leading don't care more about the lives of everyone.

Getting back to more local matters, Corvallis has begun construction on the second neighborhood bikeway on Tyler avenue!

The bikeways are meant to be supportive to casual riders who don’t want to use a bike lane along a busy roadway

Most of us know how and why this makes so much sense. Much more sense than our current urban planning allows for in most of the developed world.

Where bike-friendly infrastructure is the norm, kids gain freedom. No car keys, no backseat waiting. They learn independence, time management, and how to get around on their own. A small shift in how we design cities helps them grow into confident, capable adults.

Has Minneapolis spent billions of dollars on bike lanes?
The City of Lakes is known for its robust biking infrastructure that has been built out through city, state and federal initiatives.

What would proposed bills S.2344 and H.3754 mean for the use, enforcement, and privacy protections behind traffic safety cameras?

We’re here to answer!

Follow for updates: www.massbike.org/legislation

#trafficsafety #bikeinfrastructure #safestreets #urbanmobility #matransitplanning
What does the bill do? It allows municipalities in Massachusetts to opt in to setting up cameras specific for enforcing speed limits, red light turning, and "blocking the box." Why is the bill important? Speeding and red-light running are major causes of serious injuries and deaths, especially for cyclists, pedestrians and other road users. Safety cameras would significantly reduce crashes, helping to slow cars and save lives. It will also provide accountability for unsafe driving without requiring resources from police officers, reducing the danger inherent in traffic stops. Use of traffic safety cameras What the proposed law does: Cameras only activate when a violation occurs. They only capture license plate images, not drivers' or passengers' images, similar to automatic tolling already in place. Each violation is reviewed by a person before fines are issued and fines can be appealed. Local governments must hold public hearings, post clear signage, run public education programs and publish annual safety and equity reports. What the proposed law does NOT do: Not share data: The law does not allow sharing data with other agencies, such as Flock cameras or federal databases. Not affect insurance rates: Camera tickets do not add points to your license, are not moving violations, and will not affect your insurance. Enforcement of traffic safety cameras What the proposed law does Fees start at $25 and any extra revenue goes to the Massachusetts Transportation Trust Fund. Automated enforcement reduces traffic stops and limits discretionary policing. There are clear safeguards in place: no tickets for yellow lights, speed buffers built in, first 60 days are warnings only. What the proposed law does NOT do Not about revenue: This law prohibits profit-driven enforcement. Camera vendors and collection companies can't be paid per ticket and any extra net revenue cannot go to local or municipal budgets. Privacy protections of traffic safety cameras What the proposed law does Strong privacy protections are built in: no front-facing photos, images deleted within 48 hours, data is not public and cannot be sold or shared. Data is only available to law enforcement with a court order. Cities must analyze and report racial and social equity impacts. What the proposed law does NOT do Not surveillance tools: The law sets prohibitions against selling data and using it for other purposes. They cannot be used to track people.
