On a bike lane inside the territory of Center City Residents’ Association is where Dr. Friedes was murdered by a person driving over 50 mph in the bike lane.

This call to compromise on safety is disgusting and CCRA should be ashamed.

CCRA BOARD APPROVES REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF ITS SPRUCE/PINE BIKE LANES TASK FORCE In early November, CCRA created a Spruce/Pine Bike Lanes Task Force. It was created in reaction to a presentation made to CCRA by representatives of the City's Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability (OTIS) regarding contemplated changes to Spruce/Pine; the numerous responses to that presentation, overwhelmingly critical of the contemplated changes, particularly the proposal to prevent any stopping in those bike lanes (historically, vehicles have been permitted to temporarily stop, for up to 20 minutes, in those lanes); as well as the fact that, on Oct. 17, over the objections of numerous residents of CCRAville, Society Hill, and Wash West, City Council unanimously passed a bill that would prohibit any and all stopping in bike lanes across the City. The Task Force was charged with coming up with possible alternatives to OTIS' plan that would make Spruce/Pine safer for all users (cyclists, pedestrians, and motor vehicles), while perhaps acknowledging, at least to some extent, the historical practice of permitting temporary stopping in those bike lanes. The Task Force presented its Report and Recommendation to the Board on Tuesday night, and it was approved overwhelmingly. Read the full Report here. The highlights of the Recommendation are: (1) With clear and conspicuous signage, permit temporary stopping in bike lanes, but reduce the maximum time limit from 20 minutes to 10 minutes, and limit the availability of such temporary stopping to passenger vehicles. (2) To slow traffic, place one speed cushion and one raised pedestrian crosswalk on every block between Broad and 22nd Street. (3) To separate the traffic lane from the bike lane, use white plastic delineator posts, generally spaced 30* apart, but with the last three on each block on which a left turn can be made, spaced just 10' apart.

When I wrote this just two-ish months ago, the premise was that the architecture of the CCRA (zero carbon act) remained, but the policies that sustained it had been hollowed out.

With the CCRA changes today, I feel like that no longer holds

How Jacinda Ardern’s ‘groundbreaking’ climate law has become ‘a shell’
The Zero Carbon Act promised to lock climate ambition into law. But with key policies repealed, delayed or watered down, the once 'world-leading' legislation has become a husk of its former self.

How many deaths does it take to dedicate one lane for people to travel safely by bike?

This was in today’s Center City Residents’ Association newsletter:
myemail.constantcontact.com/CCRA-This-We...
center city - residents' association This Week January 9, 2025 "YES" TO STOPPING (TEMPORARILY) IN SPRUCE/PINE BIKE LANES You will recall that in early November, CCRA created a Spruce/Pine Bike Lanes Task Force. It was created in reaction to a presentation made to CCRA by the City's Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability (OTIS) regarding contemplated changes to Spruce/Pine; the numerous responses to that presentation, overwhelmingly critical of the contemplated changes, particularly the proposal to prevent any stopping in those bike lanes; as well as the fact that, on Oct. 17, over the objections of numerous residents of CCRAville, City Council passed a bill that would prohibit any and all stopping in bike lanes across the City. The Task Force was charged with coming up with possible alternatives to OTIS' plan that would make Spruce/Pine safer for all users (cyclists, pedestrians, and motor vehicles), while perhaps acknowledging, at least to some extent, the historical practice of permitting temporary stopping in those bike lanes. The Report and Recommendations of the Task Force was approved overwhelmingly by the CCRA Board on Nov. 12 and, shortly thereafter, forwarded to Council President Johnson (whose district covers the entirety of these bike lanes west of Broad street) and to OTIS. Read the full Report here. Among the several recommendations was the following: With clear and conspicuous signage, permit temporary stopping in bike lanes, but reduce the maximum time limit from 20 minutes to 10 minutes, and limit the availability of such temporary stopping to passenger vehicles. CCRA President Leo Levinson, Gov't. Relations Co-Chair Gina Shapiro and Task Force Co-Chair Jeff Braff met with Johnson's Chief of Staff and his Senior Legislative Counsel on Jan. 7 to discuss the Report, including a possible carve-out for the Spruce/Pine bike lanes from the citywide no-stopping-in-bike -lanes legislation. The CCRA team is pleased to report that they were assured that the Parking Authority would not be issuing tickets to any passenger vehicle temporarily stopped in the bike lanes for the purpose of loading or unloading, provided that the vehicle was attended by the driver. They were also told that Johnson would consider signage to memorialize this exception to the No Stopping law, as well as CCRA's other recommendations (i.e., speed cushions, raised pedestrian crosswalks, and delineator posts). Obviously, this is only a partial victory. We will continue to push to make Spruce/Pine safer for all users.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social also btw in May/June CCRA's green committee got seed distro jars in 10 bizs in SW center city. We distributed over 1000 native pollinator seed packets!

A recap post should be up on the CCRA Insta some time this week. Thanks again for the inspiration and the posters!

The jars are nestled on counters or displayed in front of signs. In the middle is the CCRA logo. A six picture montage of pollinator seed distro jars and posters at small businesses! Clockwise from top left: J'aime on 17th, Iffy Books, Philadelphia City Institute Library, Lombard Swim Club, La Colombe on 19th, and Musette Rittenhouse. The jars are displayed among other items on counters. In the middle is the CCRA logo.

If I die because I have to swerve out of a bike lane, I will haunt the CCRA for all of eternity.

It does now.
That's not what conservatives want.
There are numerous CPC members receiving funding and gifts from the NRA and CCRA.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social We did a CCRA green committee seed packing party last Friday, packed about 1000 seed packets. Three more native plant distro jars heading out! In addition to Mr. Rabbit, we have jars at Rims Cleaners and Lombard Swim Club. Julius Scissor and a few more coming soon!
A picture of me reflected in a hall mirror. Three plastic deli takeout containers with "plant native plant" inserts are stacked on the ledge of the mirror.

The subsidized parking crusaders at CCRA started a brand new c4 specifically to fight safety improvements and loading zones (which we should have more of everywhere) on Spruce & Pine. These selfish people have no shame. Thankfully, many people are not buying what they’re selling

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social First native plant seed distribution jar CCRA Green Committee put together, inspired by you, is up at Mr. Rabbit (23rd and Spruce)

Still working on scaling up seed packets so we can put more out!

When Democrats pushed through the CCRA in 2009, they tried to cap interest rates on credit cards.

The Republicans said absolutely no way.

Someone should tell Trump.
