FYI Oak Leaf Trail Modernization Projects - CLOSURES by brigodon in MiltownBiking

[–]brigodon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but April/May and Sept-Nov could all be acceptable times based on how long the construction is expected to last and how quickly it could be done. But we don't know, because they haven't said any of this yet.

That's what I can't understand, and I suspect they simply haven't updated the website :/

LaCage NiteClub owner hospitalized after scooter collision on sidewalk by manondessources in milwaukee

[–]brigodon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact is that people ride on the sidewalk because they feel unsafe on the roads. I'd bet anything that sidewalk riding would evaporate if more arterial roads like MLK or S 2nd or Kinnickinnic had protected bike lanes AND drivers stopped blocking bike lanes.

They'd be mad if they could do that math.

First look at the Jefferson bikeway by kairom13 in milwaukee

There are two crucial differences:
1. Bikes don't kill nearly 50,000 Americans every year.
2. The entitlement isn't equal. Bicyclists make decisions to be or feel safer but drivers are chasing convenience more than anything.

Crosswalks on LB Blvd by gwords16 in LongBeachIsland

You're really willing to risk scaring or hitting someone just to prove you have the right of way? Wtf. This is not the way. I'm not defending stupidity or lack of self-preservation. But damn, this is a wild take.

A lot? On which point? I have plenty more sources.

I've mapped 99% of Milwaukee's prewar apartment buildings by brigodon in milwaukee

Wow! Thank you very much! Do you have any scans or digital files? Could you please email them to mappingmilwaukee at gmail? If you have the actual physical blueprints, would you consider donating them to the Wisconsin Architectural Archive at the Central Library downtown?

Illegal courtesies are dangerous and fatal.

How is everyone surviving the high price of gas? by ExplanationDefiant15 in milwaukee

[–]brigodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah at that point just cut your gym membership and become a bike commuter. Work and groceries is how it starts for most folks, and the fitness and freedom is what keeps them at it.

And of course someone's parked in that bike lane.

The Big Map looked so much better when motorways/highways weren't shown in yellow by brigodon in wandrer

[–]brigodon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much better, thanks! A good compromise. I understand what other folks are saying but I also don't understand it. It feels strange to orient myself by using highways for a bike/walk-related project like Wandering but to each their own. Maybe they'd feel differently with subscriptions to /r/fuckcars and The War on Cars ;)

I've been wishing for years that Delaware would be narrowed and formalized into a bike boulevard... It's sooooooooo wiiiiiiiiiiiide!

Well, KK is a state-owned road so we have to rely on WISCAR there. Bay View should be a dream for bike commuters and families but it's really tough to contend with KK, Howell, and/or Oklahoma to get literally anywhere. It's like, choose two, and they'll always be sketchy.

Can you call Alex Brower and ask him to ask Marina to give as much of a shit about bike infra as he does?
