Huge turnout for the 36th annual Canalway Riversweep despite the weather. 33 sites cleaned by nearly 1k volunteers. My team removed nearly 60 bags of trash on W. 65th b/w Clark & Storer where we recently planted 50 trees. Of course, always fun to catch up with everyone at the Flat Iron afterparty.

Another nice Detroit Shoreway & Cudell Better Streets Bike Fix-A-Thon event. Special thanks to Neighborhood Connections for the funding, Ohio City Bike Co-Op for the great work crew, Bike CLE for the lights & helmets, and Cudell Rec Center for the space.

The inaugural Ohio Active Transportation Conference was great. Lots of good sessions and City staff + mayor represented well. It sold out so hopefully this will become an annual event.

Earth Day tour of W. 50th to learn about the grassroots efforts to save the now-iconic 44 ash trees on the street. We also discussed challenges and strategies to tree preservation in Cleveland. Finished with some drinks at Happy Dog. Thanks to Urban Forestry for organizing.

That's on E. 140th, right? I had the BBQ rib tips there when I did my Every Street Cleveland run. Legit. Owner (Wendell Powell) is a super nice dude who is originally from Alabama.

I visit weekly. When I drive, I have never parked on W. 25th. Why? There's always a parking space in the lots. In fact, I did counts this weekend: 254 avail spaces at 7:30pm on Sat, 67 at 1pm on a Sun. Peak hours. I also fear ped safety is being used as a strawman of sorts. Design solutions exist.

"Over the past week, the Trump Administration has removed many important safety resources. Last Friday, we noticed that the main Complete Streets page on the Federal Highway Administration’s website had been removedβ€”erasing decades of research, case studies, and proven solutions."
