    Polling from @CMTAlliance & @railstotrails conducted just before the primary election shows Baltimoreans want safer street infrastructure & more transportation options. ✅ Majority support for building the Greenway Trails Network, dedicated bike lanes & the Bike Master Plan.
    A graphic showing 79% of survey respondents say it's important to have trails in your neighborhood. 62% of white, 64% of Black, and 74% of Latino respondents agree bike lanes benefit people. 58% say they're more likely to vote for pro-trail candidates. And a majority supports building the Greenway Trails Network increasing dedicated bike Lanes in Baltimore City and building the Baltimore City bicycle master plan.

    Using a traffic speed monitoring device, we analyzed speeds along 28th Street the months before and after installation of the road diet. 🐌 Congestion (under 18mph) is only up ~5%. 🏎️ Dangerous speeding (over 43mph, the speed camera threshold) is down over 90%. That's a win.

    .@GovLarryHogan just vetoed the bipartisan Transit Safety and Investment Act. Just two years ago Hogan was only too happy to release $97 million in funding to WMATA, the Washington, D.C., transit system, but somehow he draws the line on funding his own state’s system.

    The Baltimore Complete Streets ordinance sets a default of 9ft lanes, and requires lanes be no wider than 10ft unless it is a bus or truck route, which can have a single 11ft lane in each direction. Baltimore leading the way.

    New Johns Hopkins report finds that narrower street lanes are safer. For roads with 30-35 mph speed limits, 10-12 ft lanes "have a significantly higher number of crashes compared to those with 9 ft lanes." narrowlanes.americanhealth.jhu.edu

    Road diet and parking protected bike lane striping is underway on University between 39th and Charles. This was a standard @BmoreCityDOT resurfacing that triggered a mandated retrofit under the Baltimore Complete Streets ordinance.

    You may have seen @marylandzoo's parking lot renovation project. They reached out to us during planning to discuss improvements to bike parking, and took our recommendations to heart. New covered parking, a fix-it station, and Jones Falls Trail improvements underway!

    We waited a day to post because it's no April Fools' 🏎️Dangerous speeding (43mph+) is now down over 97% along the 28th Street road diet since pre-install. 📸That was apparently enough to remove the speed camera at 28th and Sisson! A safer street for all. 🚶‍♀️👨‍🦽🛴🚲🚗

    Today, @MDOTNews announced that all MARC trains (Penn, Camden, and Brunswick Lines) will accommodate full-sized bikes every day. This is huge in expanding access to multimodal, regional transportation.

    Most people living in majority Black, formerly redlined neighborhoods lack access to a car in Baltimore City. Injuries and deaths of people walking and biking by drivers are disproportionately located there. Most renters citywide lack access to a car too. It's not even close.
