Sam Kazan at the Washington Examiner thinks that only an aristocrat can afford to go car free. And alerts us to this:
But [World Car Free] had an underlying political agenda; its organizers call on "governments to help create permanent change to benefit pedestrians, cyclists, and other people who do not drive cars."
It's not an underlying political agenda. It's right out there in the open.
An interesting bit of traffic history. One of the first traffic stops for reckless driving:
On May 21, 1899, Jacob German, operator of a taxicab for the Electric Vehicle Co., was stopped by Bicycle Roundsman Schueller for driving at 12 mph on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan.
GGW and the Coalition for Smarter Growth worry that the new Riggs Road/South Dakota intersection will still be hostile for pedestrians. Since there is room to widen the road, I wonder if there's space for bike lanes.
Missed this pre-Tweed Ride interview of one of the organizers.
Laurel City Council unanimously approves the city's Bicycle Master Plan.
