Live tweeting some highlights from the @DenBicycleLobby meetup with Prof. @greg_shill - Talking about his paper- "Should the law subsidize driving". Greg lived in Denver in 2013-2014. Didn't have a car when he lived here.
Driving is both a public health and a climate crises problem. Noted that "secondhand driving" is an issue. Even if you don't drive, you are exposed to the air pollution.
Over 100 people are killed per day by car crashes. Serious crash injuries from cars occur once every 7 seconds. Early data showing during COVID, crash deaths and crash rates are both increasing.

Four years ago today @kdb2001 and I had a 2 day old son. We were so happy but exhausted. We were about to leave Rose Hospital to go home and a nurse came by our room to tell us there was a man with a gun at the hospital and to barricade the door and shelter inside. Image
Those next 20 minutes were absolutely terrifying. We had no idea what was about to happen & we were so sacred that something could happen to us & our newborn son. Being in Colorado there is always a fear that Columbine, Aurora, or Bailey, or Colorado Springs could happen again.
At one point we heard the person with the gun was on the roof so we tried to squeeze into the corner of the room furthest away from windows and the door. Wondering what might come for us from either side. Image

Just downloaded recent data on traffic fatalities in Denver. You can its mostly on arterial streets like Federal, Alameda, Colfax, Colorado Blvd, Evans, Sheridan. Our desire to move cars quickly on 4-6 lane roads in an urban environment is killing ppl.

CDOT is talking about expanding I-25 in the name of safety at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars when the reality is that many more people are dieing on arterial streets. Our best investment if we really care about safety and #VisionZero is on our arterial streets.
I was inspired to download this data last night because a person from my church was killed by a driver that ran a red light on one of these arterials last week while he was crossing in his wheel chair. Everyone of these dots has a name every dot has a story. This was Tim’s...

THIS MAN WAS NOT A STATISTIC. HIS NAME WAS TIM. He went to my church. I can't believe he is gone. He was such a kind soul. I feel so much for his family. He was just on a zoom call with everyone at church last week. Traffic violence is so real. So many deaths on West Colfax. Picture of a man with his d...
He was an usher & a liturgist at our church. Was always happy to talk to you and always had his sweet dog Bella with him. We had conversations about how bad sidewalks are in Denver and how he had to go in the street because of it. He kept a high viz vest on his wheelchair.
He told me about the struggle years ago to use public transit on RTD for people with disabilities on how bad it was, and how many of the sidewalk ramps in Denver are still not ADA compliant and how dangerous they were for his wheel chair. He was such a nice man. So tragic.

Driver going down the car free open street the wrong way tonight on Lakeshore Drive and then the sidewalk.

@DenverDOTI @denverparksrec could we please put back up the 2nd barricade at west entrance? 2nd time I’ve seen a confused driver this week.
This is what it used to look like and what it looked like today when driver went down it after 2nd sign was removed recently by the city. Really confusing as there is no road closed sign and drivers can go around it now since only one sign. ImageImage
Or could you all please consider changing it from a road closed to through traffic sign to a road closed sign? Thanks for the consideration.
