Hey new (and old) friends! It's great to connect.

During the #COVID19 pandemic, bird users around the world helped me identify ways #cities were adapting street space to new #transport needs. This effort became the #ShiftingStreets COVID #Mobility Database, and it's pretty rad IMHO. I'd love to see the effort continue here, so please help me spread the word to the fediverse:

Picture shows a screenshot of the webpage at pedbikeinfo.org/shiftingstreets.
The webpage has black text on a white background, with green accents. The top shows the Pedestrian & Bicycle Information Center logo; underneath the logo in green text reads "Shifting Streets" COVID-19 Mobility Dataset. Under that is text describing the dataset and a link to download the data.

@sam How would someone from a difference instance hook in to the urbanist.social one? Asking for a complete newbie...

@bikepedantic Maybe there are changes happening at the margins, too slowly for a parent to notice. But what I see is a school that gets really excited about a walking on one day and then treats it as this weird dangerous thing the other 179 days. To me, it sends the message that you can't walk to school without making it a huge deal and calling the cops in to make it safe.

@bikepedantic I don't want a parade every day. I want to see the momentum from the parade used to jump start conversations about how to make walking an every day option.

@bikepedantic I think we can--and should!--celebrate these events. But it's frustrating that they never (at least here) seem to get people to see walking to school as an option sans parade. For a district that's currently contemplating extending walk zones to 2.5 miles because of severe bus driver shortages, this seems like a huge missed opportunity

This captures my feelings about #WalkToSchool day parades very well. Parades are fun, but the real measure of success is whether kids walk to school the next day, or any other day. https://triangleblogblog.com/2022/10/2 7/how-national-walk-and-bike-to-school-day-can-be-improved-in-carrboro-and-chapel-hill/

Screenshot of an RCUT intersection aerial view (google maps link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/35%C2%B039'27.4%22N+78%C2%B050'54.8%22W/@35.6576778,-78.848735,101m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d35.65761!4d-78.8485443)
The intersection has a z-shaped pedestrian crossing pattern, which means that if you want to walk from the northeast corner to the southwest corner, you must first go south across 5(? it's hard to tell...) traffic lanes, then northeast across 3-4 lanes, then continue northeast across a large median island, then northeast further across another 3 lanes, then south across 3-4 very wide traffic lanes, and then slightly southwest across another 2 traffic lanes.

#TravelBehavior #Question:
If you need to #walk from the southwest side of this intersection to the northeast side, do you follow the marked crosswalks (total distance 432', 15 total traffic lanes crossed) or take the straightest path (162', ~7 lanes)?

people keep using this word, "server," like us normies actually understand how the internet works. 😆
If someone would please relate this to the person who brings me food in a restaurant that would be great thanks

Welcome, new (only) followers. Thanks for following me here. Just getting my feet wet right now, but look for more content as I gradually shift away from the bird.
I'll be tooting mostly about streets and how we use them, with occasional outbursts about gardens, NIMBYism, academia, and Davidson basketball.
