On June 22, the U.S. Conference of Mayors passed a resolution in support of Vision Zero, declaring that “no one should die or be seriously injured while traveling on our cities’ streets.”
This document summarizes the findings of a 2013 bicycle and pedestrian count in Los Angeles and provides recommendations. The key findings are that bicycle ridership increased 7.5% since 2011, particularly where new bike lanes and sharrows were installed, and that people prefer dedicated bicycle facilities. The recommendations are to design streets for all ages and abilities, build a network of protected bikeways, engage communities in street design, increase bicycle safety education, and measure results to inform transportation decisions.
This document discusses the need to make communities more walkable and sustainable by focusing on active transportation like walking and biking. It notes that simply focusing on traffic issues is not enough and that communities must be designed at a human scale with compact, mixed-use neighborhoods and a connected street network to support alternative transportation options. The document advocates for traditional street patterns and land uses to reduce car dependency and encourage healthier, more livable places.
The document proposes a plan to make New York City more bike-friendly called "Bright Vision". It involves creating a network of connected bike lanes and paths, launching bike sharing programs, improving bike infrastructure and parking, and initiating a media and education campaign to promote a bike culture and make cycling a common and attractive transportation option for all. The goal is to create a healthier, more sustainable city where biking is seen as an easy and inclusive way to get around by residents of all backgrounds.
The document discusses the 7 most bike-friendly cities in the US, including Oakland, CA, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO, Arlington, VA, Portland, OR, Lawrence, KS, and Chicago, IL. These cities were ranked based on factors like the percentage of commuters who bike, the number of rainy days per year, miles of bike lanes, investments in bike infrastructure, policies supporting cycling, and density of bike networks. Cities like Portland and Chicago stand out for their high spending on bike lanes, policies, and extensive bike networks with over 600 miles planned in Chicago.
This document summarizes arguments against Charter Amendment 29 in Seattle, which aims to address homelessness. It argues that CA 29 will:
1) Make it harder to clear encampments by requiring a complex "balancing test" for each individual camper before clearing an encampment.
2) Violate good governance principles by amending the city charter, which should define government structure not policy, and lock 12% of the city budget into homelessness services indefinitely.
3) Have numerous unintended consequences by invalidating existing laws and setting legal precedents around issues like land use and law enforcement without understanding the full implications.

The document discusses the damage caused to roads by Amish buggies in Holmes County and alternatives to reduce this damage. It estimates $30,000-$50,000 is spent annually to repair roads in one county. While the Amish want to help pay, Ohio law prevents it. Possible technological solutions proposed include using plastic or rubber horseshoes and rubber coated buggy wheels to preserve roads while allowing the Amish tradition to continue.
The document discusses best practices for creating a norm of clearing snow from sidewalks after winter storms. It outlines that municipal ordinances often require abutting property owners to clear sidewalks, but responsibility is sometimes unclear, leaving sidewalks unshoveled. It recommends coalition building between cities and concerned groups, as well as enforcement of fines, encouragement through contests, assistance for those unable to shovel, and policies addressing access to transit during snowy weather.

The document discusses how cities of the future may develop and change. It predicts that by 2050, 66% of the world's population will live in urban areas, with many mega-cities having over 10 million inhabitants. Future cities will be characterized by technology and sustainability, with smart connectivity and renewable energy enabling more efficient transportation and connected public spaces. As populations grow, there will be increasing demands for green spaces, both at ground level and through new vertical park designs in high-rise buildings. City administrations will also focus on preserving historical aspects of the urban landscape.
The lack of a state budget in Illinois is impacting bridge construction projects in Jefferson County. Without a budget, the county will be unable to complete any bridge projects that require state funding and approval. The county currently has several bridge projects underway that involve replacing aging timber bridges with new concrete structures. However, the funds from the state's Bridge Replacement Program are on hold until a budget is passed. In addition, the county receives Motor Fuel Tax funds from the state each month to maintain roads, but those funds are also delayed, which could damage road and bridge infrastructure if not resolved.

Portland has reduced per capita CO2 emissions through urban planning policies that focus development around mixed-use centers connected by public transit and bike/pedestrian infrastructure. This has led residents to drive less and use alternatives like biking and transit more. Portland's 2040 Growth Concept plan aims to continue these trends by concentrating new growth around existing centers to shorten travel distances and promote alternatives to driving. Analysis shows these policies will prevent nearly 100,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually by 2035 compared to business as usual sprawl development.
This document urges voters to vote no on Measure J in November. It argues that Measure J would accelerate the destruction of bus services by diverting funds to rail and highway projects. This would lead to higher fares and less bus service every two years, violating civil rights and benefiting multi-billion dollar corporations. It also claims Measure J would be bad for public health and the environment by expanding freeways and worsening air pollution, rather than investing in zero-emissions buses.
Walking and biking infrastructure provides broad economic, health, and real estate benefits to communities. Investing in walkability can boost local businesses and property values while reducing household expenses. It also leads to health savings and a more productive workforce by attracting younger employees who prefer walkable neighborhoods. Studies show walkable communities have stronger economies even with lower driving rates.

Ischemic heart disease (IHD), also called coronary heart disease, is the leading cause of death in developed countries. It is caused by a reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle due to blockages in the coronary arteries, usually from atherosclerosis. Risk factors include age, sex, family history, hypertension, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and stress. Symptoms range from chest pain called angina to heart attacks. Diagnosis involves ECG and cardiac enzyme tests. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to reduce risk factors and chest pain, while procedures like angioplasty and bypass surgery can restore blood flow. Regular exercise, diet, not smoking, and controlling conditions like diabetes are important for prevention

League of American Bicyclists: Seeing & Believingcarolynbike
Bike equity means believing the stories people have to share about what it's like for them to be in the street. There's more to safety than being seen, and we need to believe when people tell us about insecurity beyond traffic violence.
Can we build common cause for safe streets that includes the fears of racial discrimination keeping so many people in their cars? What do enforcement-based approaches to traffic safety look like when they respect and address the realities of police mistrust? With insights gathered from bike/ped advocates this fall, we worked with Dr. Echo Rivera to craft images that shed light on why race matters in active transportation.
As a national organization, the League of American Bicyclists has a role to play in convening tough conversations. We're going to keep this Seeing & Believing project going as we shed light on complex barriers to active transportation.

These 9 components have proven effective for communities adopting Vision Zero.
The document outlines a pedestrian strategy for San Francisco that aims to make the city the most walkable in North America. It establishes goals of reducing pedestrian injuries and increasing walking for short trips. Key strategies include upgrading 44 miles of streets to improve pedestrian safety, giving extra crossing time at 800 intersections, redesigning streets around schools and senior areas, creating new plazas and parklets, reopening closed crosswalks, and installing a network of green streets for walking. The strategy provides a comprehensive set of actions to make city streets safer and more comfortable for pedestrians.
This document discusses the benefits of making communities more walkable and bikeable. It notes that walkable neighborhoods promote public health, reduce emissions, increase social interaction and economic development. Several strategies are outlined to make Dayton, Ohio more accessible for active transportation, including developing bike lanes and multi-use trails, improving pedestrian infrastructure, implementing education and encouragement programs, and changing policies to support all road users.
The documents discuss the Complete Streets movement, which advocates for roadways that are designed and operated to enable safe access and mobility for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, and motorists of all ages and abilities. Supporters argue that many streets currently prioritize automobiles and are unsafe for other modes of transportation. They note a growing interest among Americans in walking and biking more. Complete Streets policies require considering all road users in transportation planning and projects. Common features of Complete Streets include sidewalks, bike lanes, wide shoulders, and crosswalks.
Presented by Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin Executive Director Kevin Hardman on October 5, 2010, at the La Crosse complete streets workshop sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the La Crosse County Health Department.
The document summarizes discussions from a neighborhood town hall meeting about installing sidewalks in Willow Springs. Residents shared safety concerns about pedestrians and speeding cars. While traffic calming measures were implemented, they were not fully effective. Most residents support installing sidewalks for safety. However, the city will not pay to retrofit sidewalks. The document proposes a petition and funding plan where residents would contribute up to $120/year through a special assessment to fully fund sidewalk installation along key streets in a public-private partnership with the city. Next steps include discussing the plan with neighbors, voting, finalizing costs, and exploring assessment collection options.
The document provides guidance for cities to promote traffic safety through urban and street design. It discusses how over 1 million traffic deaths occur globally each year, primarily in low- and middle-income countries, with the majority being vulnerable road users. The economic costs of traffic crashes can be significant for some countries. The document outlines design principles for cities to improve safety, including reducing the need for vehicle travel through urban design, implementing traffic calming measures to reduce speeds, designing safer arterial corridors, and establishing connected bicycle networks. Specific design elements and measures are described that can help implement these principles, drawn from examples in cities around the world.
San Francisco is one year into its Vision Zero commitment to eliminate all traffic deaths and severe injuries by 2024. In this first year, the city made important progress, including nine city agencies committing to Vision Zero goals and actions, identifying high-injury corridors in need of attention, launching a public awareness traffic safety campaign, and increasing police enforcement of dangerous behaviors. However, more work remains, including expediting safety improvements on high-injury corridors, advocating for stricter enforcement of speeding laws, and ensuring police focus enforcement on the top five dangerous behaviors.
This document discusses the Wasatch Front Regional Planning Grant which aims to address challenges from large population growth in the Wasatch Front region of Utah through 2040. It will promote a quality growth strategy of developing walkable, mixed-use centers connected by transit to enhance mobility and quality of life while reducing infrastructure costs, traffic congestion, and improving air quality. Key programs under the grant will include creating planning tools, housing choices, transportation plans, outreach, and helping local implementation through a consortium.
The document is an email from Eileen Feldman, Director of the Community Access Project in Somerville, following up from an Architectural Access Board hearing regarding 50 pedestrian locations needing accessibility remediation. It provides 3 priorities for how the locations should be addressed: prioritizing locations near government/public services, transportation, public accommodations, health facilities, and dense residential areas. It also notes funding from CDBG should supplement, not replace, the city's efforts. Finally, it questions the claim that none of the locations pose public safety issues, as any code violations by definition impact public safety.
This document discusses improving the pedestrian experience and safety. It provides statistics showing a high percentage of traffic fatalities involve pedestrians in St. Louis. Various approaches are proposed such as complete streets policies, safe routes to schools programs, and roadway designs that reduce speeds. Countermeasures like sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals and reduced speed limits can significantly improve pedestrian safety. Collaboration between different groups is needed to implement strategies and improve pedestrian safety.

The document proposes updates to the transportation element of Fort Lauderdale's comprehensive plan to enhance equity, connectivity, and livability through transportation initiatives. It recommends expanding public transit options like the Wave streetcar, implementing a bus rapid transit network, and establishing an intracoastal ferry system. It also proposes designating urban growth areas to concentrate future development, adopting a modal hierarchy prioritizing pedestrians and transit, implementing complete streets design standards, and designating some streets as public spaces. The goals are to provide more equitable, sustainable, and multimodal transportation access for all citizens.
The document discusses Chicago's Complete Streets policy which aims to design roads to be safe and accessible for all users including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and motorists. It found that pedestrian and bicyclist injuries were high and many trips were non-auto. The policy requires considering all users in transportation planning and projects. It led to improvements like wider sidewalks and crosswalks to create a more accessible transportation system for all.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
