- Bad roads permeate San Diego everywhere, including Mission Beach.
- How to minimize accidents between bicyclists and drivers? Educate the drivers.
- Perhaps the planners at Leucadia need to meet the planners from St. Louis? A test run of reducing “four traffic lanes to three, changes the timing of traffic lights, adding curb “bulb-outs” to reduce the amount of yardage pedestrians need to cross from 56 to 40 feet, and increases lighting and landscaping.” The results? Public feedback was about ten-to-one in favor.
- Space Hogs – Streetsblog collected images from around the world of the space invaders; images of motor vehicles taking up public space.
- A job announcement for a SoCal Saferoutes manager.
That was a good series of articles in the L.A. Times (the second link above). Had tips for bicyclists too, in a separate article.
