#introduction
New instance new intro!!

I'm somcak, a #librarian currently in #Ohio. I have 2 mini #dachshunds and 2 #cats. I enjoy all sorts of music, yes, even death metal on occasion!

I've been on Mastodon since October 2022, and this is my 5th server.

I use content warnings for all sorts of stuff, just trying to be considerate! I always make sure there's #AltText and #CamelCase for my own posts as well as those I boost. #Accessibility matters.
I enjoy learning about #history and #archeology, particularly the #neolithic. I'm also interested in #UrbanPlanning and how we can make communities greener. I have an #ebike and care about #CompleteStreets.

Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏

Representatives from 60 climate, transportation, and environmental justice advocacy organizations sent a letter today (full text in post) to Governor Gavin Newsom, urging him to hold the California Department of Transportation (#Caltrans) accountable to his climate vision. Recent developments at Caltrans threaten the state’s reputation as a leader in fighting climate change, including through disregard for the governor’s climate action agenda for the transpo sector, the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI).

Bicycling Monterey is among the signatories because Caltrans’ implementation of CAPTI has been marked by continued expansions of highways and interchanges, persistent neglect of its own guidance for reducing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions, and repeated efforts to dilute its #CompleteStreets policy.

“The predominant history tells us that the status quo with #CarDependency is because that’s what ‘Americans’ — as if that’s a thing — have always wanted,” he said. “And what makes my jaw drop when I look back at the historical record is that that was never true … There was never a moment when lots of Americans weren’t fighting #CarDomination.”

"This is the standard method that the Netherlands uses to prevent people from driving through a neighborhood, and they make the streets safer and more enjoyable for everyone who lives there."

Also basically the only solution to traffic, and will still be the answer, no matter how much time we waste wishing for some other option.

I can't get over how much calmer and quieter it is to drive on Columbus Av now that the center running bus lanes are in. My roommate who *hates* to drive in Boston takes it and feels very chill

My main complaint is that we didn't make #CompleteStreets and that I saw people on bikes forced to ride on the sidewalk. But such a huge step forward!

@ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml The Melbourne City Council has just discovered that sticking up some signs that say "shared zone" isn't enough to make a great shared pedestrian space.

"Flinders Lane, Little Collins, Little Bourke and Little Lonsdale streets became “shared zones” in September 2020, with pedestrians given right of way and speed limits lowered from 40 km/h to 20 km/h.

"For the most part, pedestrians and drivers were unaware of the priority rules within the shared zone. Pedestrians generally waited for cars to pass before crossing the street and drivers were rarely observed yielding to pedestrians.”

"The review says the council should install more “traffic-calming” designs – like raised street sections, planter boxes or dining parklets – and paint or pave the streets to differentiate them from regular roads, where vehicles have priority."
