It would be helpful if 19th through 23rd Street had bike lanes immediately approaching Mission St even if they don’t otherwise have bike lanes. I’m frequently stuck behind cars waiting to turn for the entire light cycle, and there’s no space to filter through to the front due to parked cars.

Friends of Slow 22nd on Instagram: "Can you tell what’s missing in the first photo? Photo 1: 22nd Street, looking west across Mission. Photo 2: 20th Avenue, looking north across Lincoln. Both 22nd Street and 20th Avenue are essential bicycle routes in San Francisco. Both intersect with major streets. Both go through vibrant neighborhoods. But 22nd Street does not have equitable bicycle infrastructure — for example, green bike boxes at signalized intersections. 20th Avenue has them. 22nd Street does not. Green paint isn’t everything, but people on 22nd Street in the Mission should enjoy the same safety features as other parts of the city (or better!). Bike boxes at all signalized intersections would be a start, and they’d indicate to drivers which streets are meant to be bike routes. Let’s make it happen. P.S.: There’s one more difference between the two photos. 20th Avenue isn’t on the city’s list of high-injury streets. 22nd Street is. #visionzero #visionzerosf #bicycle"

Cowboys' projected starter should start worrying about his job because of rising teammate
Although we didn’t learn nearly as much as we wanted during the Dallas Cowboys 2024 mandatory minicamp, we did find out there’s a high-stakes battle going on that we weren’t really in tune with. Ahead of OTAs and minicamp, we already had plenty of roster battles on our radar: We knew Cooper Beebe would face some competition from Brock Hoffman and others to start at center. We were aware about Trey Lance having a shot at debunking Cooper Rush from QB2. So on and so forth. But the moment th…

Maryland updates its Complete Streets policy. Waivers will now need signoff from Secretary of Transportation.
This quote from the Assistant Secretary (#3 in MDOT) hits the mark:
“The policy is really important to get right in terms of the intent and the approach. What’s 10 times more important is its implementation.”

Maryland officials want a ‘culture change’ that puts road safety first
A new Complete Streets policy — which seeks to prioritize the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and people using mobility devices in the design of roads — will now cover all major state transportation projects.
