Die @gruenestuttgart haben das Vorschlagsrecht auf den Pisten der oder des Baubürgermeister*in. Sie bestimmen damit wie und ob Grundsteine für die Umsetzung der Gemeinderatsbeschlüsse und damit auch der Ziele der #35249Unterschriften gelegt werden.
Was sollte so jemand können?🧵

Das Stadtplanungsamt steht am Anfang aller Planungen. Was dann nicht mitgeplant ist, kann später nicht in die Planung kommen. Streichen geht aber immer.

...so weiterzuentwickeln, dass das Stadtplanungsamt fähig wird, die Qualitätsstandards des Radentscheid abzuwenden und umzusetzen. Dazu müssen zwar auch neue Stellen geschaffen werden, aber vor allem muss die zuständige Abteilungsleitung weiterentwickelt werden. Bisher... 3/19
1/ Rising gas prices: The perfect opportunity for @MetrobusTransit to have @Joanne_NL @SeamusORegan coordinate with @TownofCBS @townofparadise @CityofStJohns @Mount_Pearl to get #parknride and #publictransit across the Metro region. #nltraffic #nlpoli #design709 
2/ In all reality, a dependable public transit system could alleviate traffic in @TownofCBS, reduce car dependency, actually help with GHG reduction, and save constituents money. @DarrinBent @ShelleyMoores79 @AndreaGosse @mjhardynl @JoshBarrettCBS thoughts?
/3 The fact that we have no wide urban transit system is abhorrent. We dedicate nearly all transportation to personal vehicles, leaving a large chunk of the population venerable to small fluctuations in #gasprices. Also with no alternative option, it's own a car or poverty.
1/ The @CityofStJohns tells me I am to engage in vehiclular cycling. Cool: I got an #ebike and I ride in traffic. Cool: I've had cars zoom passed me at lethal velocities because there is no real bike infrastructure. But... How do I trigger traffic lights?
2/ I've been patiently waiting on the vehicle magnetic sensor with nothing happening and cars behind me. Sorry #nltraffic cars but I literally cannot trigger the light.
Why don't people cycle? It's not the rain eh @kerriclaireneil. It's not the wind eh @BicycleNL. It's the cars

3/ The sooner we can convert wasted on street parking (aside from downtown) and convert those to at a MINIMUM painted enforced bike gutters the better.
Pedestrians and cyclists don't match easily. For a casual ride sure but not for commuting.

Gegenüber #Schutzinselkreuzungen halten sich in 🇩🇪 zahlreiche Mythen. Was ist dran an den Vorurteilen? EIN THREAD >>> #ProtectedIntersection #geschützteKreuzung
„Schutzkreuzungen bremsen mich als Radfahrer aus.“ - FALSCH: #Schutzinselkreuzungen ermöglichen es 🚴♂️ , ohne🚦rechts abzubiegen. Kein anderes Kreuzungsdesign schafft das so automatisch. Grünphasen können so geschaltet werden, 2/x
dass das indirekte Linksabbiegen verzögerungsfrei möglich ist. Die geschützte Führung garantiert behinderungs- und konfliktarme Fahrt unabhängig vom Kfz-Verkehr und sorgt damit für eine hohe Leistungsfähigkeit des 🚲-Verkehrs. 3/x
Strong opening statements from @NTSB: "preventing a crash from happening in the first place is our top priority." and "If we do not improve roadway infrastructure for bicyclists, bicyclists will die who otherwise would not."
@NTSB Why is @NTSB doing this Bicycle Safety Report? According to @NHTSAgov , 806 bicyclists died in crashes with motor vehicles in 2017. ... and it has been 47 years since the @NTSB examined bicyclist safety
@NTSB @NHTSAgov In 2008 the @CDCgov @CDCChronic @CDCEnvironment set a healthy people 2020 goal for the bicyclist fatality rate at 0.22 deaths per 100,000 people. Since then the bicyclist fatality rate has increased and reached .26 deaths per 100k in 2016
I had an epic #bikenyc day yesterday, until I got doored and knocked off my bike for the first time. I’m fine, just angry that a For Hire Vehicle passenger’s carelessness and bad infrastructure hurt me and could’ve killed me. 1/
I was riding home from a friend’s bday dinner in the Village, heading east on Houston Street to 1st Ave, which I take up to the Queensboro Bridge. On the last block, I rode in the “bike lane” between the vehicles poised to turn right and the cars positioned to go straight. 2/
As I was riding through the stopped vehicles, about to make my left onto 1st Ave, an SUV passenger in the going-straight lane (far away from the curb) flung the right rear door open into me and knocked me down in the “bike lane.” 3/
