From Dexter & Mercer, looking east down the new temporary bike path on the north side of Mercer St. underneath Aurora Ave.

Woohoo! Just in the last week construction on Mercer St. under Aurora Ave took a huge step forward by providing a temporary bike and pedestrian path on the North side of Mercer St. While not perfect it will definitely make it easier for everyone using this area and will give a much-needed westbound connection for cyclists. Personally, I am just glad I no longer need to cruise down the center line on Mercer to get through the morning rush hour!

Temporary Mercer walk/bike path under Aurora finally connects Dexter to Lower Queen Anne | Seattle Bike Blog.

Think these guys are crazy to stand in the middle of the intersection with a truck coming? Perhaps in the United States, but in the Netherlands it is not a big deal. I mentioned the Netherlands last week with Hovenring, the world’s first suspended bike circle. Here is a quick piece highlighting some of the ways the Dutch mentality towards transportation development has been quite different from that of the United States.

Finally Getting Serious About Measuring How Much People Walk and Bike | Streetsblog Capitol Hill

I keep hearing over and over how important data is right now in the evolution of sustainable transportation.  Whether during my tour of the Capital Bikeshare program in D.C. or talking to the staff of Berks County Community Foundation, everyone says the same thing: data collection and analysis is growing fast as proponents of sustainable transportation seek stronger means of convincing doubtful stakeholders.

Progress is being made though, as the Federal Highway Administration and Transportation Research Board are beginning to address the issue with guidebooks discussing data collection strategies and detailing how walking and biking activity might change under different development strategies.  Additionally, bikeshare programs present an easy opportunity to collect widespread data, as the Capital Bikeshare has done and made available here.
