Change can be good.

Back in the 1980: us car maker makengiant car and Japanese make tiny car. Then 2020 the Japanese cars are huge and the American car are smaller. As the 3rd countries strives to build roads and drive cars like 1st world countries. The Americans are celebrating living like 3rd world countries. At the 1st world cost of living.

When there is a pothole on the highway we don’t ask Ford to pay for the repair. Currently, the public does not apply a value to the natural surface infrastructure (mountain biking trails)–rather it is expected to be there. A mindset shift is needed from PAYING for it to ADVOCATING for it. Singletrack Trail’s purpose is to build trails that positively impact the outdoor recreation economy and the trail infrastructure as essential pieces of our economy and society. Therefore we need to pay for them like highways, roads, sewers, and housing. Based out of Fort Collins meet Greg Mazu of Singletrack Trails on Callosum’s interview series “Beyond Revenue.” This extended 45-minute conversation covers:? - Industry shift from the destination to the journey? - Conservation, wildlife - away from sedentary and technology? - Urban community builds? - A globalized economy values natural surface infrastructure? - Empowerment through outdoor recreation.

I’m all about the hashtags #TransformTO (Toronto City Council has adopted an ambitious strategy to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions in Toronto to net zero by 2040 – 10 years earlier than initially proposed. The City’s 2040 target is one of the most ambitious in North America. - 75 per cent of school/work trips under 5km are walked, biked or by transit) + #VisionZero ( The City is committed to Vision Zero and upholds its fundamental message: fatalities and serious injuries on our roads are preventable, and we must strive to reduce traffic-related deaths and injuries to zero.) What would happen if we changed the channel on a car centric, car dependent City of Toronto? What if we invested in SUVs?#SustainableUrbanVehicles Let’s figure out how we can #LeaveTheCarBehind and prove that ??#ThisMachineFightsClimateChange Thank you School of Cities, University of Toronto

How do we make Austin a bike-friendly city? Read more in this Austin Monthly article, featuring Red Line Parkway Initiative Executive Director Tom Wald, about how expanding access to urban trails is key. https://loom.ly/-hO9vkA

How long until generation rent becomes generation tent? ?? If population growth continues to outstrip the rate that new housing is being built then the choice for your kids, or grandkids, could be to move to Mars with Elon Musk or put a tent up in your back garden. Another idea is to set up a legacy for your kids, to give them a great head start when the time is right. Build a portfolio, hand it over and give them a lot of life choices.

Austroads Webinar Recording: Safe Active Streets – an Overview of Western Australia’s Pilot Program The Department of Transport Western Australia has been working with Western Australian local governments to develop, trial and evaluate ‘safe active streets’ to encourage more people to walk, wheel and ride in their communities. The pilot program trialled and adapted common local area traffic management treatments to create 30 km/h environments with unique designs created that reflect local community needs and context. This webinar explored the origins of the program, how and why it started, shared high-level insights from the evaluation, including what worked, what didn’t and what was learnt along the way. It also shared next steps for the program and how this work will be used to inform guidelines to support the delivery of safe active street infrastructure by local government into the future. The webinar was presented by Caroline Elliott and Liza Picton. There were question and answer opportunities during the session. https://lnkd.in/gi-RqNrU

I went to a bike event recently and upon introducing myself to someone, their first question was “so: what radicalized you?” I was like, "okay, we're diving right in!" ?? Then shortly after came up with like 10 examples: ?? maybe the time I was hit by a car on my bike in #Baltimore? a time I look back and "laugh at" but in reality was quite scary?? ?? maybe the many nights in #SanDiego, when I was dependent on an embarrassingly dysfunctional bus system, so bought a used bike with my humble?Jesuit Volunteer Corps?stipend, and then had to bike on 8 lane roadways to get home?? ?? perhaps the time I saw a collision between a runner and a helmet-less cyclist in the bike line, in which the cyclist cracked their head open? ?? or seeing the size of these #SUVs cruising down the road, and thinking about the dear kiddos in my family whom I love, and how they wouldn’t even be seen in the road from a car that tall? ?? or probably just every single time I ride my bike through NYC—a city I still feel is one of the best American cities to bike in—despite the 4 million ways it needs improvement?? These cars are ON one, and it is alarming. ?????? And when I think of #ClimateFutures, I think of places where we are free from dependency on cars and the #fuels that make them go. I think of #freedom from exhaust and #pollution. I think of movement, fun, adventure, all of which are made possible by #transportation alternatives like biking. Getting radicalized can mean getting ?inspired? to push beyond the status quo that’s literally killing us—and that feels good! Thanks?to the Make McGuinness Safe?campaign and?Transportation Alternatives for your work to build biking communities and foster opportunities for connection and #advocacy. If we can get safer streets in NYC, we can do it anywhere! #ruinedforlife?#jvcnation?#sandiegopublictransit?#nycdot?#cyclistsofinstagram?#carsruineverythingaroundme?#makemcguinnesssafe #getradicalized #wutangisforthechildren #urbaninfrastructure #urbanplanning

TOMORROW! We’re back with the team from Toole Design Group, Catherine Girves and Tobi Otulana, who we heard from in our last episode on inclusive transportation, and Leah F. Evans, Homeport president and CEO. For this bonus ‘sode we’re discussing how we can support adding density with robust transportation options, including mass transit like light rail and bus rapid transit (BRT). We talk about tackling our public right of way policies and how we can adjust them to make room for modes like biking and walking. Can we add density without having transportation options already built in for the individuals and families who inevitably need to move from one place to another? Would things like BRT and light rail be viable without first establishing density?
