😒 "Boulder Police Department is investigating 14 illegally placed signs with explicit traffic safety messages like “DON’T KILL ANY KIDS TODAY” and “SLOW THE F— DOWN.”

Imagine road authorities doing actual #VisionZero work, putting #StuffInTheStreet with the same urgency they show in response to DIY efforts.

Let's just imagine that we took the #ClimateAction or #VisionZero plans seriously, with the urgency to quit killing people for not driving (& killing plenty of drivers too), and some actual wish to survive as a species. NONE of the current plans are within 10x of doing it. You need a different strategy. Stop building for cars and just put the actual #StuffInTheStreet that you would 🚧 if you took the lack of network seriously & opened a city-wide project to fix it this year. #TacticalUrbanism

A3 #BikeNite it seems like every politician and even most drivers "support bicycling" but what's lacking is the connected low-stress infrastructure to get people of all ages and abilities from all points A to all points B by bike. DOTs' bike plans are being built on like a 200-year timeline and #CompleteStreets are never going to happen before the climate extincts us unless we do #TacticalUrbanism and network-level reprogramming of space that's effectively reserved for cars

Tactical network-level changes like cut-thru traffic diversion and bus-turn-only road diets are badly needed if we want to actually connect a usable low-stress #bikewayNetwork and not waste the next decade on more non-progress like rebuilding Hawthorne or flashing beacons on 82nd. Drop in hardware, take feedback, and iterate, not this narrow, overpriced, too-little-too-late stuff like around Tilikum, Naito, and soon SW 4th. #tacticalUrbanism like Jersey City, Paris, Seville, Amsterdam 50yrs ago

@jef @marcprecipice @LukeBornheimer the "outreach" process and careful planning is based on changes being set in stone, but the designs they bring after years of planning are crap. City street changes need to shift to #tacticalUrbanism: provide some notice (on the street) & chance for input, put some stuff in the street that yields a safer environment, with posted information about how to provide further input, iterate. AFTER the entire bikeway network is low-stress & connected, pour concrete.
