Bike Erie

This video is all about the dutch history before and after their automobile peak time.

Affirming a trend seen in other cities, Indianapolis's eight-mile Cultural Trail has been a boon to the neighborhoods adjacent to it - as well as the city as a whole - increasing property values of homes and businesses and giving residents and tourists a convenient, attractive, unbroken path to walk, bike and move around the city.

High Bridge, spanning the Harlem River and connecting Manhattan to the Bronx, is the oldest bridge in New York City. It is also an aqueduct, or used to be. Built in the 1840s, when public health officials across the country were battling cholera, it carried clean water from upstate to a growing urban population.

In April, I flew from Chicago to address the 2015 Preservation Erie Awards. As the plane approached, I enjoyed a great view of Presque Isle State Park and the city itself. Presque Isle gives Erie the most interesting and beautiful waterfront geography on the Great Lakes.

July 12, 2015 - Washington, D.C. A new exhibit about the role of bicycles in American liberation has opened and it's not to be missed. Bicycles=Liberation at the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C., is part of the museum's Object Project series that explores the relationship between people, innovative things and social change.

The protest hadn't even started before the first motorist laid on the horn. Hundreds of cyclists rode through The Wiggle yesterday evening in protest of a San Francisco police captain's calls for a crackdown on bikers coasting through stop signs. But instead of breaking the law, protesters wanted to show the city just how bad traffic would be if every bicycle approached intersections just as a car does. Riders arrived at every stop sign in a single file, coming to a complete stop and filing through the intersection only once they were given the right-of-way. The law-abiding act of civil disobedience snarled traffic almost immediately.

The Department of City Planning sets the framework for the City's development through policy and development review by the Planning Commission and through administration of the zoning ordinance. The department pursues community development by facilitating community planning processes, supporting community-based and technical assistance organizations and programs, and administrating the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

ERIE - The idea of a non-motorized, multipurpose trail connecting the Perry Monument on Presque Isle State Park in Erie to The Point in Pittsburgh first surfaced decades ago. Although the highway distance between the two cities is 128 miles, the Erie to Pittsburgh Trail - or EPT - when completed years from now, is projected to be 270 miles.

The United States saw a nearly 62 percent increase in bicycle commuting between 2000 and 2013. But when it comes to reporting crashes between bikes and motor vehicles, police departments around the country are still using incident forms designed for an earlier era.

The Senatorial Advisory Committee on Arts and Culture, under direction from State Senator Sean Wiley, requested exhibits from Erie County that could be featured in the State Capitol in Harrisburg. The Erie Art Museum partnered with Senator Wiley and is highlighting six bike racks that will be on view for the month of February as an exhibit that emphasizes the Museum's commitment to Erie and the community.

More than £200 million is to be spent on making the country's roads safer for cycling, the deputy prime minister will announce today, heralding the biggest single investment in cycle safety under the coalition. The autumn statement next week will include a £114 million boost for eight cities around England to improve their cycle networks, Nick Clegg will tell a cycling conference in Bristol.

A little background: First, we are talking only about high-volume streets here. Neighborhood streets can have much narrower lanes. The classic American residential street has a 12-foot lane that handles traffic in two directions. And many busy streets in my hometown of Washington, D.C., have eight-foot lanes that function wonderfully. These are as safe and efficient as they are illegal in most of the United States, and we New Urbanists have written about them plenty before, and built more than a few. But what concerns us here are downtown streets, suburban arterials and collectors, and those other streets that are expected to handle a good amount of traffic, and are thus subject to the mandate of free flow. Second, you should know that these streets used to be made up of 10-foot lanes. Many of them still exist, especially in older cities, where there is no room for anything larger. The success of these streets has had little impact on the traffic-engineering establishment, which, over the decades, has pushed the standard upward, almost nationwide, first to 11 feet, and then to 12. Now, in almost every place I work, I find that certain streets are held to a 12-foot standard, if not by the city, then by a state or a county department of transportation.
