RT @evan7257: Why isn't City Hall putting safety first on Telephone Road? | Editorial via @houstonchron.

You could double the amount of traffic on this stretch of Telephone Road and you still couldn't justify 4 through lanes. So why withhold a safer design? Because @houmayor doesn't like road diets, even though they're proven to dramatically reduce crashes.

Once again, @houmayor is making transportation decisions without support from the community, and without guidance from experts. They're called the "Mayor's Guiding Mobility Principles" because they were cooked up @houmayor, not by planners and engineers.

“When it comes to data-backed projects… like protected bike lanes that have been shown to reduce fatalities and injuries, that’s when you get some tension between the mobility principles and then what actually reduces crashes.”

“If you ask [@houmayor’s] administration, ‘are you concerned about people dying on the streets?’ they will say yes,” says @_DominicAnthony on @CityCastHouston.

RT @JRDNLTHMS: You can't traffic cop your way out of a design problem.

"Polk Street has the only dedicated bikeway between @DowntownHouston and East Downtown. So if the plan is to shut down Polk Street later this year, then we need the city to work quickly to ensure that there’s a new bikeway in place before that happens."

It's been a year since Houston's bike share system shut down.
