Street analogy:
A car driver, bicycle rider and a pedestrian are sitting around a table, which has a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The car driver takes eleven of the cookies, then turns to the pedestrian and says "Watch out! That bicycle rider wants to steal your cookie." 🤔

There used to be a crosswalk that crossed Prospect Street and connected to the back of City Hall. When they did road work a couple of months ago they paved over the markings in the road and never repainted them. They should add it back.

Awards are great. Drivers who stop for people walking are greater. Cops who actually enforce against scofflaw drivers are the greatest. xitter.cf/NickAddamo/status/9891…
Hartford is a @WalkFriendly Community! Praise given to Complete Streets ordinance & zoning code (thanks @CoHEcoDev & @sarabronin!), sidewalk coverage (thanks @HartfordDPW!), local partnerships w/ @TheiQuiltPlan, & regional partnerships with Capitol Region Council of Governments: xitter.cf/TheiQuiltPlan/status/9…

Cycle tracks provide freedom & mobility to those who need it most: kids, teens, the elderly & less able. A city without them lacks equality.

Just block road for cars like they block bike path;
