Edmonton fast tracks protected bike lanes and rolling stops for cyclists
by Beth McKechnie 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Great to see Edmonton not only following Calgary's lead in quick implementation of a basic grid of downtown protected bike lanes but also potentially becoming the first in Canada to allow cyclists to do a rolling yield at stop signs on residential streets. http://www.edmontonsun.com/2016/09/28/edmonton-council-committee-votes-to-f… -- *Beth McKechnie* | Workplace Commuter Options <http://greenactioncentre.ca/>Green Action Centre <http://www.greenactioncentre.ca/> <http://greenactioncentre.ca/content/ecocentre-directions-and-travel-options/> 3rd floor, 303 Portage Ave | (204) 925-3772 | Find us here <http://greenactioncentre.ca/content/ecocentre-directions-and-travel-options/> Green Action Centre is your green living hub Support our work by becoming a member <http://greenactioncentre.ca/support/become-a-member/>.

Developers to help reduce miles travelled in San Francisco
by Beth McKechnie 28 Sep '16

28 Sep '16

Very interesting approach about to be adopted in San Francisco: http://www.citylab.com/commute/2016/09/can-san-francisco-build-housing-that… The hope is to establish a citywide “transportation demand management” program, requiring developers of new buildings to incorporate design features that cut down on vehicle-miles traveled. Officials from the San Francisco Planning Department, MTA, and County Transportation Authority have developed a 26-item menu <http://default.sfplanning.org/plans-and-programs/emerging_issues/tsp/tsp_TD…> of research-backed TDM measures, each of which comes with a certain amount of points. Every new development project would be assigned a site-specific point target, and to reach it, developers would choose their blend of VMT-reducing features. [VMT = vehicle miles traveled] cheers, Beth -- *Beth McKechnie* | Workplace Commuter Options <http://greenactioncentre.ca/>Green Action Centre <http://www.greenactioncentre.ca/> <http://greenactioncentre.ca/content/ecocentre-directions-and-travel-options/> 3rd floor, 303 Portage Ave | (204) 925-3772 | Find us here <http://greenactioncentre.ca/content/ecocentre-directions-and-travel-options/> Green Action Centre is your green living hub Support our work by becoming a member <http://greenactioncentre.ca/support/become-a-member/>.
