TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
During the last half of the 20th century, cities and towns across America were built primarily for one transportation mode: the automobile. Much of this development occurred on the urban periphery, creating the suburbs that are now home to more Americans than either traditional central cities or small towns. Today, while federal transportation policies and urban planners have shifted toward promoting a more multi-modal form of development, the legacy of the postwar era remains: thousands of suburban neighborhoods poorly served by any mode of transportation other than the automobile.
“Ghost Bikes” – In A Brooklyn Minute (Week 85) [HD]
Friday, December 30th, 2011Uploaded by GNYBerlin on Youtube
Ghost Bikes can be found all over Brooklyn, New York City and most of the world. They are memorials to bicyclists who have been killed on the street.
A bike painted white is locked to a permanent fixture at the nearest location to the actual crash – oftentimes there is a plague with the cyclist’s name. It is a somber reminder of that individual person who died and a call to make our streets safer for everyone.

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011On Monday late afternoon I rode my bike across the Brooklyn Bridge and filmed it with a GoPro for you.
The result is nothing like I expected. So I let frustrations and happy accidents fall where they may and bring you a ride that almost looks like an “impressionist painting stop-animation” of biking across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011
SANTA MONICA BIKE CENTER
The Bike Action Plan is guided and supported by Santa Monica’s award-winning 2010 Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) which lays out a bold vision for the city’s future, one that protects and enhances the city’s beautiful neighborhoods, creates new community benefits in complete neighborhoods around the new light rail stations, supports community character through good design, and minimizes traffic through a “No Net New Vehicle Trips” policy. This Bike Action Plan strives to be equally bold and practical. On the one hand, this plan envisions a future Santa Monica in which it is attractive and fun for Santa Monicans of all ages and abilities to use a bike to get everywhere in the city and to meet all the needs of daily life. On the other hand, it is also a detailed five-year implementation strategy for moving toward that vision.
