I rode US 100 down to the Trace today, for the first time since Alyssa Milligan was killed there almost two years ago

I've been around long enough to have little fear when riding (even when I should) - but as I passed her ghost bike, I was filled with absolute dread

A real disaster of road design

Seven bikes take up less space than a single SUV, yet it's the cars that dominate the scene, visually, spatially, and audibly.

Bikes blend in. Cars overwhelm.

Really inexcusable response from NDOT on this. Just ban right on red throughout downtown and stop making people beg for basic safety improvements.

We've got to do something about these scooters on the sidewalk

Check out these proposed improvements to the East Bank road nerwork

New East Bank Boulevard plans just dropped 👀

This. Is. Huge.

It appears that the judge saved the bike lanes because they found that:
-removing the bike lanes would reduce the safety of cyclists, going against the charter of rights and freedoms
-removing the bike lanes would worsen congestion, going against the removal's stated purpose

Remember when then-Mayor Megan Barry proposed a 1/4 mile transit tunnel through downtown and transit opponents lost their minds and called it an impossible boondoggle?

There is a whole lot going on about Nashville in this Sunday morning photo.

Two geraniums, a purslane, Roman chamomile, and a pilea, plus a paper making kit and some school supplies! And I was def carrying more than some of the trucks I saw on the route
