Using a traffic speed monitoring device, we analyzed speeds along 28th Street the months before and after installation of the road diet. ๐ŸŒ Congestion (under 18mph) is only up ~5%. ๐ŸŽ๏ธ Dangerous speeding (over 43mph, the speed camera threshold) is down over 90%. That's a win.

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.

As a Black pedestrian citizen in Baltimore, I find it important to contextualize the bike lane conversation through my Black lens. So hereโ€™s some perspective as I wrap up editing the video tomorrow. I hope @CCMiddleton6 keeps in mind the needs of us w/o cars.

Unfortunately, virtual testimony was unexpectedly not permitted during tonight's Rules and Legislative Oversight Hearing on bike lanes. We wish the two dozen participants who could not make an in-person 4:00pm 3.5 hour hearing but wished to testify had the opportunity to do so.

What a Bike Breakfast! We were so lucky to have bicycling legends stop by while in town for @MarylandClassic . Nelson Vails likes the 28th Street lane they rode this morning, but suggests Baltimore get some better bike lane sweepers like they have in San Diego. Agreed ๐Ÿ˜‚

Notably, this vote approved a plan that contains insufficient funding for the Red Line?! and plans a result in 2050 of *increased vehicle miles traveled* and no change in transit mode share. It ensures @MayorBMScott 's Climate Action Plan cannot be met, yet the city voted for it.

We have filed a protest with the Board of Estimates about a proposed transfer of speed camera revenue to Baltimore Police. These funds should be invested in life-saving traffic calming that permanently reduces the need for cameras, not given to police.

A long known issue at a crash heavy intersection. Design changes can prevent crashes like this. Automated enforcement may have stopped this driver running a red, or at least caught them when they fled. Both routinely opposed by drivers valuing speed and convenience over lives.

We 100% agree with Senator Hayes here. Lockbox this revenue entirely to physical roadway changes and shorter signal timings in camera geographies to reduce speeding and other dangerous driving behavior. City has authority to do this. We've been calling for it for years.

@IanMWolfe @kwamerose Similar to the cameras on I-83 revenue generated from these cameras should be limited to the communities where they are located to finance permanent traffic mitigation โ€ฆ ie..extensive hyper local traffic studies, narrower roads, bump outs, turnabouts, medians with trees. Why notโ€ฆ

The recent mask mandate ruling does not prohibit local restrictions. . @mtamaryland and @CharmCityCirc should not have removed their mask wearing requirements. This action will directly harm transit riders who are disproportionately vulnerable to COVID-19.

This veto by @GovLarryHogan is anti-transit, anti-bike, and anti-Baltimore. We are disappointed (but not surprised) that our governor, a sprawl-developer by trade, continues to force spending toward growing sprawl--something that only profits people like him.

By vetoing the Bikeways program @GovLarryHogan has attacked everyone who chooses not to travel by car. @GovLarryHogan โ€™s veto is bad for Marylandโ€™s economy ignoring the desire of businesses to locate in areas where their employees can live car free or car light. #mdga19
