Reply to comment by Grouchy-Macaroon-761 in Has there ever been anything less effective than these Stop for Pedestrian signs on Cary Street? by Dog_Dad_1989

Their videos are too depressing for me. The amount of work we need to do to fix American development patterns is so overwhelming lol

I’d rather just go shit post on r/FuckCars while someone smarter and more patient than me puts in the actual effort to change things

I know, it seems irreversible. I think RVA is one of the best cities in the region to bike… at least downtown.

people forget that downtown RVA was literally built before cars existed, so its intrinsically a great foundation for pedestrian, bike and non-car traffic.

Hell yes. Already in their email list. I second this recommendation for anyone interested in urban and transportation issues or even if you’re just interested in the financial sustainability of local governments. They focus a lot on the financial side

It’s super cool stuff. They just did a crash analysis webinar of a recent fatal incident near Monroe Park. I posted it in r/vcu. They review a lot of relevant surrounding issues in Richmond’s transportation system, and obviously pick apart the car-centric design of the streets that surround the park.
