Check out this beautiful proposal for the #kcmo Midtown Complete Streets Plan. If you're familiar with our 2014 Westport demonstration, you may notice some similarities! ;) Retweet if you'd like to see these improvements for Broadway Blvd!

This is us KCMO… Literally these pictures are of Kansas City, MO. This is what happened to our city in the name of “progress”. Doing so wrecked our tax base, our environment, and our own health…

It's not too late to save this beautiful, historic bridge and repurpose it as a destination for all of the Kansas City region!

Little things matter. @portkc is updating and repainting crosswalks and other street signaling throughout #BerkleyPark. But we are committed to BIG changes that will make the riverfront one of the most pedestrian friendly places in KC. #VisionZero

This beautiful curb extension in the Westport neighborhood of Kansas City, Mo helped slow travel speeds by 45% and shortened pedestrian crossings in half! We are looking to do much more of this, so if your neighborhood or city is in need of safer streets, give us a shout!

If we were to open a few streets to pedestrians and remove the parking, many more streets in KCMO could be used like this!

After a month since installation, the planters at the Volker Traffic Calming Project are filling out very nicely with (mostly) native plants!

New report finds that Boston has seen an 80% increase in bikeshare usage as a result of dedicated bike lanes. Traffic is rising to pre-COVID levels and dedicated bike lanes may be the solution. It's #OurMove, MA! #mapoli mass.streetsblog.org/2021/07/22/res…

Happy #FeelGoodFriday! We want to give great big sweaty high fives to the public works teams doing the physical work to make our streets #PlacesforPeople. This crew is installing pre-cast curbs to add an extra layer of protection for those using #KCMO's Gillham cycle track.

A natural oasis in the heart of downtown @KCMO. The @portkc team works hard to maintain and restore the #BerkleyPark trails and native plantings. Please come enjoy them! #KC

Fortunately, there are other tools out there. It’s time for federal regulations to reflect this.

Released today: City Limits, a guide to safe #speedlimit setting on urban streets. The most commonly used speed limit setting practices in the U.S. are oversimplified, outdated, & unsafe. City Limits provides an easy-to-follow context-sensitive approach. nacto.org/safespeeds/

There always seems to be this perceived battle between "drivers" and "cyclists" in cities... 🚗🚲 If you're a "driver" sick of sitting in traffic, you should be an advocate for creating and empowering more "cyclists," even if you never intend to step foot on a bike.

The @kcstreetcar is expanding — what happens next? For @kcbeacon, I break down the new tax and special assessment coming to parts of KC — and how to stay informed on all those pesky road closures. @Report4America thebeacon.media/stories/2021/0…

This is an amazing feat, partially funded through @MARCKCMetro federal funds. Worth every penny I would say...

Mark your calendars to Ride the Rock for the grand opening of phase 2 of Rock Island Trail July 10! This long awaited project is complete & we can't wait to share it with you. @CityofRaytown @CraneBrewing @raytownchamber @cityofLS @CityofGrandview @KCMO @BikeWalkKC @BicycleShack
