Amazing! We can create safe streets streetscapes for all AND have more green space! @TopekaMPO time for a #fieldtrip
Community-led streetscape improvements at 40th & Walnut made this area safer for pedestrians! The project includes: • New stop signs 🛑 • Crosswalks 👟 • 1,400 square feet of reclaimed asphalt for landscaping (which helps slow down traffic) 🌳🚘
When a person driving a car encounters this situation on a narrow rural road with its advisory bike lanes, they will slow down, and pass when there is room rather than try to squeeze by lest it disrupt the people having a conversation because what are we, animals?

Recent improvements along Gillham are in jeopardy of being removed, and it may soon be much harder to build bike lanes anywhere in the city. Take action NOW to save Complete Streets and Vision Zero in KCMO. bit.ly/3ycpNLb

Texas beaches are legally considered to be parking lots by default; if a Texas city or county wants to stop cars from driving on the beach it has to provide replacement parking (1 space per 15 feet of beach, at access points no more than 1/2 mile apart.)

We had a great turnout this a.m. for the bus shelter ribbon cutting w/ Our Lady of Guadalupe Knights of Columbus members, District 2 rep Christina Valdivia-Alcala, and Rodd Miller w/ Topeka Metro. THANK YOU KOC for providing funding for the shelter @ NE Seward & Chandler.
You can now call or text 785-333-1113 with the bus stop # to learn where your bus is. We encourage you to download the app on your mobile phone so that you can be in control of finding out bus arrivals & departures. youtu.be/6dJ8vh5kmt8 via @YouTube

Now that pedestrians require roughly the same effective width as a car, we should re-allocate street space accordingly.
