GOOD/BAD STATE LEGISLATIVE NEWS IN ME AND MT
With state legislatures working furiously, there are
some interesting bills moving along (or stalling, as the
case may be). Some bills look good, others...well...let's
just say they're "interesting."
On the plus side:
The Bicycle Coalition of Maine is backing four (count 'em
four!) bills:
- L.D. 621, An Act to Protect a Child's Right to Bike and
Walk to School
- L.D. 636, An Act to Promote Healthy Workplaces
- L.D. 312, An Act to Modernize Bicycle Safety in Maine's
Statutes
- An Act to Promote Motor Vehicle Operator Responsibility
For details, go to:
http://www.bikemaine.org/legislation.htm
- In Montana, the legislature tabled House Bill 212,which
would have required bicyclists to ride against traffic
while cycling in rural areas. Bicyclists from around the
state, with help from the folks at Adventure Cycling
Association, fought this one and won.
On the minus side:
- Montana's legislature tabled House Bill 522, which would
have created a Safe Routes to School program and funding
source. This bill was put together by AERO (the Alternative
Energy Resources Organization) and -- we hope -- will come
back next session.

BAD NEWS TEXAS SIDEWALK BILL INTRODUCED
It definitely is the silly season. Here's another
example of legislative tomfoolery... According to the
February 19th edition of the Gulf Coast Growth News, "A
bill that would amend the state Transportation Code to
allow drivers to park a car or light truck on a sidewalk
across a private driveway has been introduced by Texas
Representative Gary Elkins (R-District 135). HB 674 opposes
what the City of Houston tried to accomplish with the 1999
amendments to Chapter 42, the Development Ordinance, by
forcing residents to walk in the street, according to Mike
O'Brien, President of the Houston Homeowners Association."

URBAN SPRAWL MAY BE CAUSING WAISTLINE SPRAWL
A Feb. 21st Scripps Howard News Service story asks "Is
urban sprawl making Americans fat? That's what a growing
number of health researchers are coming to believe.
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is
launching a major study to examine the connection between
urban sprawl and the dramatic increase in obesity among
Americans.
"'The initial step is to identify what general
relationships are going on - and we assume that there are
some because obviously America is experiencing substantial
growth in its metro areas and we're also experiencing
substantial growth around our waistlines,' said Rich
Killingsworth, a health scientist with the centers' Active
Community Environments Initiative..."

NY STATE BACKS NEW PLANNING APPROACH
According to the Feb. 26th issue of Mobilizing the
Region, "The transportation section of New York's 'Quality
Communities' Task Force report recognizes the innovative
land-use/transportation planning underway under the rubric
of 'sustainable development studies' in the Hudson Valley
and Long Island, and urges the NY State DOT to continue in
this direction, '[adopting] new techniques to promote
community visions.'
"Quality Communities is a Pataki Administration effort to
bring NY State government actions into line with "smart
growth" planning principles. Development of policy
recommendations was headed up by Lieutenant Governor Mary
Donohue.
"The sustainable development studies, set up by staff of
the NY Metropolitan Transportation Council, bring local
governments, state transportation agencies and citizens
together to examine how zoning and development policies and
transportation infrastructure plans can promote community
goals. Though none of the studies has reached a conclusion
yet, they appear a promising approach to the critical land
use-transportation connection in the context of home rule."

According to a Feb. 26th essay by Pulitzer Prize-winning
author Thomas Hylton, "...Like all traditional American
towns, my home town of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, was
designed with the pedestrian in mind. Big plants that,
during the town's glory days, turned out fabricated steel,
auto parts, underwear and Mrs. Smith's pies lie in a
mile-long stretch along the Schuylkill River. Just north of
the plants is an eight-block commercial district, which in
turn is bordered by neighborhoods of closely spaced single
family homes.
"Having grown up walking to school myself, I was careful to
buy a house close by the newspaper where I worked for 22
years. My wife made a special effort to get a job in the
Pottstown School District, where her students are also our
neighbors.
"Not having to commute a half hour each way to work during
the last three decades has saved us more than 10,000 hours
behind the wheel, the equivalent of five years at work.
It's also saved us more than $100,000 for the second car we
didn't have to buy and maintain..."

Writers Group and is posted on the Michigan Land Institute

NEW PRESIDENT FOR RAILS-TO-TRAILS CONSERVANCY
According to the February Trails & Greenways Update, the
e-newsletter of the California Office of Rails-to-Trails
Conservancy, "The RTC has a New President: Keith Laughlin,
former executive director of the White House Task Force on
Livable Communities, has become the new president of RTC.
He succeeds David Burwell, who co-founded RTC in 1986 with
environmentalist Peter Harnik, and has served as its
president for 15 years. Laughlin joined the White House
staff in 1993 as associate director for sustainable
development on the Council on Environmental Quality.

WASHINGTON ADVOCATES WANT 1/3 FOR BIKE/PED/TRANSIT
According to a story in the Feb. 27th issue of STPP's
"Transfer" e-newsletter, "In Washington State, the
Transportation Choices Coalition and other groups are
leading a '1/3 for Choices Campaign' this legislative
session to advocate that at least 1/3 of new transportation
revenue be dedicated to transit, bicycling, walking, and
other transportation choices. According to local advocates,
the campaign has its roots in both a 1999 state ballot
initiative that significantly reduced funding for transit
and an evolving alliance between the environmental,
business, and labor community that helped defeat another
anti-transit measure last year.
"As such, the emerging coalition is now urging state
policymakers to advance an overall transportation package
with a budget that directs 1/3 of all new state
transportation funds to transportation choices.
Transportation Choices Coalition and 1/3 for Choices
Coalition are also putting together a list of the types of
projects to be included in the budget, ranging from
vanpools, to financial incentives for trip reduction, to
possibly some money for smart growth programs. This
February, representatives of the Transportation Choices
Coalition, Bicycle Alliance of Washington, and People for
Puget Sound met with all 45 members of the House and
Transportation Committees and delivered one-third slices of
pie to their offices to bring attention to the campaign.
"According to State Rep. Ruth Fischer, Co-Chair of the
House Transportation Committee, although there is
bipartisan support for the 1/3 for Choices legislation in
both the House and Senate, finding flexible funds will be
difficult. Fischer recently said, 'We are really
struggling with this since there aren't many flexible
funds. Our 18th amendment requires that all of the state's
gas taxes go to highways and highway purposes and we no
longer have the excise tax funds for transit.'"

CHALLENGES OF FIXING CHICAGO'S SIDEWALKS
According to a Feb. 21st article in the Chicago Tribune,
"At a time when Chicago is devoting unprecedented resources
to resurfacing streets, planting flowers and erecting
wrought-iron fences, Frank Paulo stumbled on a crack in
Mayor Richard Daley's highly touted plan to rebuild the
city. Actually, he fell face first.
"It happened on a summer morning in 1995, as Paulo was
taking his father to a dialysis center on the Northwest
Side. When Paulo got out of the car and stepped up on the
curb, he tripped on a broken sidewalk and landed on his
head. The city had planned to repair the sidewalk months
earlier but reneged when the adjacent building owner
declined to pay part of the costs..."

PEDESTRIANS TAKING STEPS TO FURTHER THEIR CAUSE
According to a Feb. 21st Scripps Howard News Service
story, "A belief that the simple act of walking in most
American cities and suburbs has become either inherently
dangerous or fundamentally impractical has spawned a
grass-roots movement to retake the nation's streets for
pedestrians.
Boston to Austin, Texas, to Portland, Ore., groups
devoted exclusively to advocacy on behalf of pedestrians
have sprung up largely independent of each other over the
past decade and are now coalescing into a national
movement.
"In August, pedestrian advocates will hold their first
national convention in Oakland, Calif. ..."

federal funding for upcoming road projects, including the
Katy Freeway expansion, may be reignited this week.

late 1999 by the Houston-Galveston Area Council fails to

DUBLIN'S OLDEST AND BUSIEST PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE REFURBISHED
According to a Feb. 26th story in the Irish Times,
"Dublin's most emblematic structure, the Ha'penny Bridge,
has been obscured by an ugly sister, erected alongside,
which looks like a poor relation of the hideous Loop Line
bridge further downriver.
"But the new bridge is a temporary structure, installed at
the behest of shopkeepers in Lower Liffey Street, who
feared a six-month closure of the historic cast-iron bridge
for refurbishment would ruin their trade. Dublin
Corporation is investing 1.8 million [pounds] in the
restoration of the city's oldest and busiest pedestrian
bridge, assisted by funding from the Dublin Transportation
Office, and it is intended to complete the project by
September..."

BIKE SOBER AND STAY OFF SIDEWALKS
According to a March 5th story in the U.S. News & World
Report, "Common sense says that riding your bike after
you've had a few drinks is not a good idea. A study in last
week's 'Journal of the American Medical Association'
confirms it-even one drink dilutes the skills and judgment
needed for safe cycling. Researchers from Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine in Baltimore studied 124
Maryland bicyclists who were in serious accidents and found
that one third of those fatally injured had elevated blood
alcohol levels. Just one drink, they calculated, multiplied
the risk of serious injury or death six times, and four or
five drinks multiplied it 20 times..."

QUESTIONS RAISED IN DEATH OF SEATTLE CYCLIST
According to a Feb. 28th story in the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, "Controversy hangs over the death of a
31-year-old bicyclist who was struck by a police car
shortly before dawn yesterday in North Seattle. Some
witnesses said the patrolman ran a red light and wasn't
using his emergency lights or siren when his cruiser hit
31-year-old Joel Robert Silvesan.
Police officials initially said Silvesan was at fault but
later backed off, saying it's too early in the
investigation to reach conclusions. There was no argument
about the impact. The victim's bike landed nearly 50 yards
away...."

COPS <SHOULD> WALK BEAT IN SAVANNAH
According to a Feb. 24th editorial in the Savannah
Morning News, "IT'S NOT surprising that the Savannah Police
Department has instituted a new policy of having officers
walk a beat in the Historic District. The surprise is that
full-time foot patrols weren't instituted years ago.
"Foot patrols are a great idea. They give police better
visibility, thus deterring crime, and they give residents
and tourists a sense of security. Instead of limiting their
use to evening and night shifts, SPD should expand the
walking patrols to all day.
"Savannah is a walking and bicycling city. Residents and
tourists alike take advantage of the mostly moderate
weather and shady parks and squares. Many downtown
residents who work in the Historic District don't think
twice about biking or walking to their offices..."
