Streetsblog.net: Copout on the Transit Bailout

2923680890_fbd6d0e94a.jpgToday on the Streetsblog Network:

The Transport Politic talks about how Congressional support for bailing out transit authorities who got into troublesome deals with AIG is eroding. 

Also, two stories about the importance of pedestrian infrastructure in suburbia. First, Planning Livable Communities laments the poor state of sidewalk snow clearance in Framingham, MA:

Why is it understood that communities must keep roads clear of snow so that drivers can get where they need to go, but nobody seems to care about doing the same for sidewalks?

Next, Twin Cities Streets for People links to a new report about the benefits of safe routes to school for kids.

Plus: the AP’s short list of Transportation Secretary contenders, a cool video about the lively downtown of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and more.

Houston Street Gets Tree-mendous New Sidewalks

By Jason Varone |
  We’re just catching up to this piece of good news in The Villager last week: With the Houston St. renovation project on the West Side finally nearing completion, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the sidewalks between Sixth Ave. and W.

NYPD Shifts Sidewalk Bicycling Tickets Out of Criminal Court

By Stephen Miller |
NYPD is issuing substantially fewer criminal summonses for sidewalk bicycling, opting to enforce the violation with traffic tickets instead. While the shift is a good step toward decriminalizing the behavior, as a result there’s also less information available about how police are applying the law against sidewalk biking. Last year, police issued 6,069 bicycle-related criminal summonses, down from 25,082 in 2013, according to a report NYPD […]
