YouTube video by Not Just Bikes This is Why Cycling is Dangerous in America

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

Sorry this is happening, so frustrating! We need walkability yesterday

Bike lane rants just obscure serious traffic safety concerns - MinnPost It’s easier to joke about spandex-wearing bike lane users than to have needed conversations about speeding, safety or infrastructure costs.

"...Instead of the public conversation centering on traffic safety for drivers and neighbors, everyone seems to be talking about bike lanes...a phenomenon that I call the “bike lane fig leaf,” where culture war rants about bike lanes cover up more meaningful discussions about vehicle safety. "

Unfortunately I feel like the group of people interested in changing the codes and the people who actually make the codes are two separate groups of people. If such a conference could bring these two groups of people together, that would be powerful.

Orange Ave. Backbone Project Update, Oct. 2025 Good afternoon Neighbors, Thank you for your continued patience as we awaited further details and next steps regarding the status of the Orange Ave. Backbone Bikeway project. In keeping with my commitment to keep interested parties informed of this city project, I am reaching out with the latest update. Today, Oct. 14, 2025, Public Works has officially shared their final recommendation and intentions to move forward with Alternative 2. After Public Works shared their original recommendation of Alternative 3, I listened to the feedback and concerns brought forth by invested neighbors, and met with the impacted residents of Orange Ave., hearing your concerns about parking, access, and general safety. As feedback and preferences continued to pour in with a significant majority showing preference for Alternative 2, I shared this with Public Works, advocating for the concerns and desires of the community. Public Works responded to feedback and has changed their recommendation to move forward with Alternative 2 for the stretch of Orange Ave. between Wardlow Rd. & Bixby Rd. The plan for the remainder of the 8.6-mile transformative corridor project, north of Bixby Rd. to Jackson St. and south of Wardlow Rd. to Ocean Blvd., remains unchanged. More details on the entire corridor project can be found on the project webpage. Earlier today, my team and I brought Public Works leadership to a meeting with Judson and Sue, your neighbors who took a strong lead on gathering and sharing feedback from residents on Orange Ave., as well as couple of members of the Cal Heights Neighborhood Association Executive Board. During the meeting, Public Works shared their latest update with these neighborhood leaders directly, to provide an overview of the changed recommendation and an anticipated timeline for the next steps of project implementation. Be on the lookout for an additional email from Public Works tomorrow as they will provide more detail…

Earlier today, my team and I brought Public Works leadership to a meeting with Judson and Sue, your neighbors who took a strong lead on gathering and sharing feedback from residents on Orange Ave., as well as couple of members of the Cal Heights Neighborhood Association Executive Board. During the meeting, Public Works shared their latest update with these neighborhood leaders directly, to provide an overview of the changed recommendation and an anticipated timeline for the next steps of project implementation. Be on the lookout for an additional email from Public Works tomorrow as they will provide more details and information on this project update and anticipated timelines. I acknowledge that there may be concerns with the recommendation to move forward with Alternative 2, however I appreciate that our city traffic engineers took additional time to consider and incorporate my office's and the community's feedback. Alternative 2 retains the most amount of parking on both sides of Orange Ave., designates the bike lanes only with painted striping, removes the center turn lane, and will ultimately contribute to slower speeds and safer driving along the corridor. Additional specifics, including the final placements of bus stops, crosswalks, and potential traffic calming measures at 37th St., are still under consideration at this time. I will continue to advocate for the access and safety needs of all residents and businesses along this stretch of the project corridor. To allow for residents to hear directly from the Public Works team and provide public comment in an official forum as the project moves forward, I have called a meeting of the Mobility, Ports, & Infrastructure (MPI) Committee to be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 5pm in the City Hall Chambers. I encourage you to attend, watch online, and/or submit your public comment and any questions. Online public comment can be submitted in advance of the meeting to the City Clerk via email at cityclerk@longb…

We are disappointed to learn that Councilmember Kerr has downgraded the Orange Ave Backbone bikeway from a protected bikeway to unprotected bike lanes in the door zone.

It’s pronounced cyclist.

California Law Makes it Easier to Build Small, In-Home ADUs New Law Signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom Removes Barriers, Imposes Standards

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

Do we really think this is over or are people just not reporting?

Zohran leads a RIDICULOUS pace for the Bus vs Pedestrian race on 34th St. God I love this town.

Why is it stop signs vs roundabouts? Intersections that are good for 4 way stops would be better for 4 way yield with traffic calming.

Newsome is a spineless turd

Ooh!! Recommendations would be wonderful!

I have some pants in need of mending and this is inspiring me. Thank you!!

Want to open a bowling alley in Baldwin Park, CA? Too bad.

With a parking mandate of 3 parking spaces per 100 square feet of building area you'll need roughly 30 parking spaces per lane.

Repost if you agree.

Madre Fire is currently nearly 80,000 acres and only 10% contained. 4,000 California Nat'l Guard members who could be helping on the fire lines were deployed to LA by tRump and have mostly ended up just standing around outside federal buildings. What a waste of their service!

So this is their game plan ..

Pass the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP ever

Then backend those cuts so they don’t take effect until Dec of 2026

The month right after the midterm elections

Then lie about their being no cuts to these programs thru their teeth.

Should work. It did before.

So, who’s REALLY running the country: The Heritage Foundation, or Vladimir Putin?

Who?! 🤔

Thinking about reporting a news story about a flood by interviewing some anti-flood and pro-flood advocates

We spend dollars to avoid wasting pennies in free riderism. This is ideological, not rational. It is central to what's wrong with neoliberal policy.
