A good friend of mine from NC started “Walk Safe Monroe” he’s been advocating for traffic studies on dangerous roads and has gotten sidewalks and speed bumps installed. They won’t change unless you make them change! He is focused on his own town now but he would love it if others opened more chapters in other towns.
@Jollyllama That’s important and needed grassroots work, but it would be made a lot easier if universities reformed their civil engineering curriculum to reflect scientific understanding of the harms caused by promoting cars and trucks as the primary modes of transportation so that advocates didn’t have to start by providing basic education to alleged professional experts who have been granted a degree that gives them power to rearrange communities.
Encourage them to make a website so people across the country can make their own chapters per town and city too. It takes us all to make sure we lose nobody else to that.
