Cycle route signs help route users find their way, they advertise the presence of route and make people aware that routes are part of wider networks. Poor signage is a (the) major cause of frustration with cycle routes and has even been cited in coroners' reports* - when lost cyclists have ended up on trunk roads. Despite this, signage is often an afterthought.
This workshop will give participants a good understanding on what effective signage can look like, and how it can be achieved. As well as presentations, participants will cycle on parts of the National Cycle Network to see examples of signage in different (Urban and Rural) environments.

These preliminary alternatives were presented to the Pacific Beach Planning Group Balboa Transit Subcommittee on Tuesday, May 24.
Alternative Descriptions:
Alternative 1 provides a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the I-5 freeway to Mission Bay Drive. A bicycle connection is then provided to Magnolia tying into Rose Creek Path to get to areas within the community.
Alternative 2 provides a two-way cycle track (bicycle facility) along Garnet Avenue to Mission Bay Drive and then along a traffic calmed Magnolia Avenue. Pedestrians and cyclists then have the opportunity of travelling along Figueroa Blvd to cross Grand Avenue.
Alternative 3 provides an on-street bicycle facility along Garnet Avenue and provides improved connections to the Rose Creek Bike Path from Garnet Avenue and Grand Avenue.
*All three alternatives provide intersection enhancements for pedestrians such as upgraded pedestrian ramps and crossings, pedestrian actuated signals and countdown timers at Mission Bay Drive and Garnet Avenue and a better configuration of the Grand Avenue and Mission Bay Boulevard intersection to improve pedestrian access across this intersection.

Delivered at a regional walking and cycling forum describes many of the issues involved when implementing a \'Bikes on Bus\' programme. Focused on Auckland, NZ - and how we can learn from the rest of the world who has already adopted these schemes successfully.
Hundreds of people worked to begin to improve beauty, safety and mobility in Pacific Beach over 6 months of 2014. A shared vision and action plan was developed through a community workshop to generate ideas and prioritize investment. Beautiful PB's leadership and guidance helped to fuel ongoing engagement in the community and on-the ground outreach by Circulate San Diego.

The Affordable Housing & Anti-Displacement Strategies appendix in the City of Eureka's Waterfront Specific Plan is vital for promoting equitable and inclusive growth in the area. This appendix focuses on addressing affordable housing challenges and mitigating displacement risks, incorporating strategies such as incentivizing affordable housing components, utilizing public-private partnerships, and implementing tenant protections and relocation assistance programs. By prioritizing affordable housing and anti-displacement measures, the City aims to ensure that the benefits of waterfront development are accessible to all residents, while preserving community cohesion and enhancing overall quality of life.
Public Review DRAFT: The Draft Waterfront Eureka Specific Plan (WEP) is a regulatory blueprint aimed at revitalizing vacant and underutilized sites along Eureka's central waterfront. Its goal is to streamline environmental review processes to facilitate the creation of at least 115 housing units in the area by 2027. The WEP aligns with the 2040 General Plan and the Local Coastal Program, reflecting community-led visions and incorporating policies, programs, and regulations to shape development. Public input is essential, as feedback will help refine the plan, which focuses on sustainable growth, public access, transportation, and environmental preservation. The WEP serves as a guide for future projects, aiming to transform the waterfront into a vibrant, sustainable community hub.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

8. TOOLBOX - NEAR TERM IMPROVEMENTS2
IMPROVEMENT DESCRIPTION
NearTerm Improvement
Street Furniture
Street furniture enhances the pedestrian environment and makes the roadway more
inviting by providing a pedestrian amenity along paths of travel. Furniture can reflect
the character of the neighborhood and make it a more walkable place.
Traffic Enforcement
Traffic enforcement helps ensure that all modes of transportation are adhering to safe
mobility behaviors, especially at newly-implemented crossings or intersections.
Lighting
Improved illumination along corridors increases safety at night for active transportation
users and alerts motorists to the presence of pedestrians and bicyclists. Lighting is
especially helpful at crossings and transit stops.
9. TOOLBOX – MEDIUM-LONG TERM IMPROVEMENTS2
IMPROVEMENT DESCRIPTION
Medium-LongTerm Improvement
Enhanced Crosswalks
Visible and accessible crosswalks designate pedestrian pathways and improve safety
for pedestrians by increasing visibility for all modes of travel and slowing traffic.
Branded Signage
Signage can provide wayfinding as well as designate travel paths for active
transportation users. Using signage with the City of Brea logo and branding that
reflects the neighborhood’s character can provide a strong sense of place and add to
level of comfort that a pedestrian or bicyclist may feel when traveling through the
community.
Landscaping
Landscaping can improve the pedestrian environment by providing shade and a buffer
from vehicle travel lanes. Adding green infrastructure along a roadway can make the
corridor more inviting to pedestrians and bicyclists, encouraging the use of active
transportation modes.
Enhanced Sidewalks
Sidewalks provide pedestrian access and connectivity along roadways and to public
spaces. Widening sidewalks enhances the pedestrian environment and makes the
corridor more inviting to pedestrians by slowing traffic and providing safety and
distance from vehicle travel lanes.
10. TOOLBOX – MEDIUM-LONG TERM IMPROVEMENTS2
IMPROVEMENT DESCRIPTION
Medium-LongTerm Improvement
Bike Lane Improvements
Bike lane buffers provide separation between bicyclists and vehicles. Each bicycle facility
improvement recommendation is suggested based on factors such as the existing
bicycle facilities, roadway width, traffic volumes, and any right of way constraints.
Separate Bicycle Facility
Bicycle facilities such as a cycle track or grand boulevard provide a separated facility for
bicyclists, providing distance from vehicle traffic with physical buffers such as bollards or
landscaping. The presence of separated bicycle facilities can slow traffic by alerting
motorists of the presence of bicyclists.
Traffic Circle
Traffic circles help to calm traffic by controlling vehicle speeds at intersections. Providing
a series of neighborhood traffic circles at intersections along a common pedestrian or
bicycle pathway can create a neighborhood greenway that improves access to
neighborhood amenities or destinations such as parks or other recreational centers. A
central island with landscaping and continental crosswalks provides increased visibility
of the traffic circle and enhances the intersection for active transportation users.
