This document summarizes a city council presentation about proposed designs for Sheridan Road between Chicago Avenue and Central Street. It discusses three options for bike lanes - a split cycle track with and without meandering, and an east side two-way cycle track. Each option is outlined with pros and cons. Next steps discussed are a 7th ward residential workshop, Northwestern student coordination in September, and final design approval at the October city council meeting.

Title: Complete Freeways: Evaluation of Florida's Bicycles on Limited Access Facilities Pilot Program
Track: Connect
Format: 60 minute panel
Abstract: The Florida "Bicycles on Limited Access Facilities Pilot Program" has improved three limited access bridges to allow use by bicyclists. Bridge modifications include conventional and innovative improvements. Before and after data suggest that these pilot projects have been beneficial and a full evaluation will be conducted to see if the program could be expanded to other limited access facilities in Florida.

This proposed project is intended to improve traffic circulation and access to properties along the Loop 250 frontage road. The extension of Beal Parkway would provide a new connection to Thomason Drive and will reduce traffic in adjacent neighborhoods. A roundabout is also proposed at the intersection of Thomason Drive and Illinois Avenue to provide a safer interchange of traffic between the three roadways.
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.
Miami-Dade TPO's Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Workshop held virtually on July 13, 2021 due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The agenda/presentation slide deck can be viewed at https://youtu.be/cA2TqI15Tac

Urban transportation systems redesigning main streetJulianne Crawford
Serving both Houston’s Medical District and Rice University, the section of Main Street between Cambridge Street and University Boulevard has a high demand for drivers; however, the street is not equipped to handle such a high capacity, and is constantly afflicted by traffic and delay during rush hour times. There are three major concerns that we will seek to address: (1) Traffic backed into the intersections during rush hour necessitates the stationing of traffic guards to override the traffic signals and moderate traffic flow; (2) The frequency with which cars exit from the 6 parking garages exacerbates the already heavy congestion as they attempt to merge into oncoming traffic; and (3) Un-synced and, what we felt were, unnecessary lights prevent traffic from moving through this area smoothly and efficiently.
Our primary goals and considerations when re-designing Main Street were as follows: (1) Redesign and/or re-work the existing system of intersections and parking garage exits to maintain a smooth flow of traffic using only traffic signals and no outside moderation, even during rush hour times when traffic flow is particularly high; (2) Prioritize and ensure that cars, pedestrians crossing the street, and buses moving through this area can all travel to their final destinations with minimum delay; and (3) Remain mindful of the limited space within which redesigning Main Street must occur, and the fact that this section of Main Street does face peak times of need during which more stress will be placed on the system. In the remainder of this report, we will address how we came to our proposed re-design alternatives to meet each of these goals.

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.
