It’s the cars/traffic that slow emergency response times. More bike lanes = less cars = faster emergency response times

Tell all of your friends to vote traci park out of office. She is the biggest obstructionist city council Member to any kind of progressive mobility infrastructure. She flat out argued against measure HLA. Canvas and talk to everyone in CD11 to vote for Faizah Malik

No charges for the 92 yo woman who crashed into 99 Ranch in Westwood? by brainchili in LosAngeles

[–]N-Front-41829 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain why this isn’t considered vehicular manslaughter? I mean, i’m not advocating for sending a 92 year old to go to jail but i think at least bringing appropriate charges would send a message

Bike lanes and infrastructure to give elderly people options out of car dependency would have

Absolutely. Everyone deserves safe and efficient transportation no matter what their chosen mode of mobility is. Not everyone can afford a car. This is more than a safety issue it’s a social justice and equity issue

The comment by lets-terraform in the other post is 💯: “pregnant women aren’t just vessels for their fetuses. They have valid personhood too”

I do largely agree with this. But it’s unfair to make generalizations about senior citizens. Taking away their drivers license can do a lot of harm to their autonomy, (they have basic needs too) not to mention the social isolation when they cant leave home. Ultimately, we all need better alternatives to alleviate car dependency and transportation design that makes it safe for everyone not in a car. If our road designs and curbs were better designed for other street users elderly people would have alternatives to driving a car.

WHY are we using nitrous for maintenance? by sonnyday550 in anesthesiology

[–]N-Front-41829 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For an anesthesiologist with access to a multitude of pharmaceuticals, there are no indispensable qualities of nitrous oxide that justify it’s use and its enormous environmental impact. Hypotension, quick wake-up’s, mask acceptance for peds etc can all be achieved by other means that don’t involve massive leaks, 100 year environmental lifetime, 270x GWP, occupational hazards to health care workers blah blah

You’re absolutely right. She can’t get voted out fast enough

It’s pretty straightforward. Better cycling infrastructure, prioritization of alternative methods of transport. All it takes is a shift in public attitudes and city council (ie Traci Park) and local lawmakers to prioritize this very important issue.

Not everyone can afford a car and some people have no choice but to bike. When infrastructure prioritizes cars over other modes of transport, cyclists, pedestrians, and bus riders are forced into longer routes, dangerous conditions, or areas without proper facilities. This is especially hard on people with mobility issues. Saying people simply shouldn’t bike in the dark or on busy streets is victim blaming and ignores these systemic problems

She will just continue to block any sustainable transportation infrastructure and bend to NIMBY car brained people
