Great Big Bollards: A Manifesto

A modest proposal for keeping people outside of alive by Dan Marshall @streetsmn

"I’d start with installing Great Big at all bus shelters. The fact that we don’t protect shelters tells us everything we need to know about modern American morality... Streetlights, signs and stoplights are all built w breakaway bolts to protect drivers and minimize vehicle damage when hit"

WHO'S A NON-DRIVER?
At least 30% of us. People too young, too old, #disabled, or too poor to drive

WHAT TO DO?
Make #transit that's frequent, reliable, and safe to #walk & #bike to.

I've been biking them for 2 years and just learned a new word -- and a new program. H/T @modacitylife

Doorfietsroutes, thru bike paths, are smoothly aligned regional connectors between cities. Fun for tourists. Essential for adaptation.

Regional requires incredibly hard political and engineering cooperation.

Province already has 150km (93m) of a planned 1500km system. built 146km just in 2023.

What kinds of roads we choose to build (and for whom we build them) is relevant to creating a future we can thrive in.

Back in the #USA, #Oregon Metro planner Robert Spurlock calculated a complete linked 1,000 MILE network of low-impact regional walk/bike trails would cost $500M. That's half the cost of expanding a mile of I-5 freeway. Admittedly that's just for 3-meter ribbons of asphalt, not beautiful Dutch fietspad with complex crossings and community input.

But we have to make choices now.

In #Utrecht I live in a dense neighborhood in an apartment building, surrounded by other apartment buildings. It is always quiet because most everyone travels by #bike

Being outside, hearing #birds, kids, people, seeing my neighbors while walking and biking makes me calmer and happier. My blood pressure is getting lower.

I ❤️ #Netherlands

John Simmerman and I sat down for a chat on how Dutch street infrastructure reflects values.

Premieres 11amPST 8pmCET on 10 April. Podcast also drops Wednesday.

My thesis is that values of commonsense, punctuality, consensus, adaptation, sharing, self-reliance, and looking for bargains are actually built into the Dutch streets.

What values are reflected where you live?

80-page report on Low Traffic Neighborhoods (LTNs) just released 17.3.24.
Here's what I learned:

UK added 100+ LTNs during COVID

3.7% of 's population lives in an

LTNs use signs, planters, bollards, cameras to reduce cut-thru

Most people who live in an LTN don't know it

Emergency responder time stayed the same

58% less , 50% fewer collisions, cleaner

The Benefit

In 2013 Transportation for invested £100M in "Mini Holland" pilot projects in 3 areas of the city, improving and walk investments, to build streets more like the .

University of Westminster researchers found 10x Return On Investment compared to nearby areas:
✔ lower health costs
✔ fewer sick days
✔ fewer collisions
✔ more savings & fewer car payments

It's fascinating how most people perceive "make it possible for people to choose to ride a bike, take public transit, or even walk places" as "#banCars".

People are so threatened by anyone having the opportunity to opt out of driving that they see it as an existential threat to driving altogether, maybe as something that should be banned?

Equally threatening is the idea that other forms of transportation should get anywhere near the same subsidies as driving

CathyTuttle,

@enobacon @sanae @dx @footsteps The Dutch policy is only to build what can be maintained. Projects clearly enumerate a long term maintenance budget and space requirements as part of their start up. Roads have value. Public spaces have value. The government has to justify how it's going to take care of what they build, not just build it. Turns out a lot of what is cheapest to maintain doesn't include moving and storing cars for free.

At every City Council meeting, @bikeloudpdx volunteers have made it a priority to have one person give public testimony. It provides a little education to the Council and a lot of passion to open their hearts.

It's so relaxing to bike in the , because, on busy roads, bike traffic is separated, and on city streets I can trust that people who drive are alert and follow the rules (look up presumed liability).

In the US, I wonder if I should make a version of this video for myself in the cities I bike in.

I love getting places by : the air, the beauty, using my body to move, interesting things all around me.

Be well & fijne dag

@enobacon The Dutch are just practical people who realize it is counterproductive to give more space to cars when the goal is to efficiently move people around. Their transportation system, and culture, strives to be logical.

Go fast in cars in some places, slow in others. Choose a bike or a train ride when practical, have good roads for cars available when it is not. Refreshing!

Friends in or near please take and share this @bikeloudpdx survey about women's experience of biking!

Especially hoping to hear from who rarely or never bike, as well as people who use bikes frequently.

Based on survey developed by + used with permission of the UK Cycling Campaign’s Women’s Network.

#Netherlands does a stellar job building community.

Today it's #GlurenBijDeBuren "Peeking at the Neighbors" at 100s of locations in dozens of cities. People invite neighbors to their homes and show off skills.

I could bike to see rock bands, choirs, a palm reader, magician, or cooking class.

But I've chosen homes near me with Klezmer, New Age music, TheaterSports, and a western band promising to sing Dolly Parton. I might head further afield for backgammon class

Leuk!
