DON CHEN CONNECTS HEALTH, SMART GROWTH

According to a note from Deb Spicer of the New York State Dept. of

Health, the NYS Association of County Health Officials (and partners)

sponsors a monthly videoconference on topics of interest to public

health professionals. This month's videoconference will be on the

connections between smart growth and public health. The speaker is Don

Chen, the director of Smart Growth America and formerly with STPP. Don

spoke in August at the first national CDC Prevention Conference on

Heart Disease and was very well received by the health audience. The

teleconference will be on December 20, 2001, 9:00--10:00 AM (EST).

"Here's a blurb from NYSACHO's web site: 'The Smart Growth movement is

an effort to address the impact of development on quality of life.

Rather than continuing with existing trends that promote suburban

sprawl and move people away from community centers, Smart Growth seeks

to restore community, preserve open space and foster economic

development. The Smart Growth movement, with its emphasis on creating

community environments that allow for and even promote physical

activity as part of our daily lives, is particularly important to

public health. This program will focus on the implications of this new

development trend for public health activities that address both

environmental and chronic disease concerns."

http://www.nysacho.org

For a list of site coordinators who may be downlinking the

videoconference, go to:

http://www.albany.edu/sph/coned/t2b2site.html .

If you are interested in attending, you will need to contact the site

coordinator to make sure they are downlinking it and to make sure there

is space. "Healthy Heart" folks are encouraged to invite their local

planning and transportation people - it's a great opportunity for some

discussions on how to work together.

RTOR DEAD IN STATEN ISLAND

According to another story in TSTC's Mobilizing the Region, "On

November 21, Governor George Pataki gave New York pedestrians and

cyclists reason to gives thanks when he vetoed the right-turn-on-red

proposal for Staten Island. Island legislators claimed that

right-turners at red lights were clogging arteries. They seemed to

ignore the fact that nearly one-third of all signalized intersections

on the Island allow the turning movement and that the others were

deemed unsafe to allow turns.

"The Governor in his veto stated 'While reducing traffic congestion is

an important public purpose, protecting the safety of pedestrians and

bicyclists must be our paramount concern.' Mayor Giuliani, Staten

Island Borough President Molinari, Borough President-Elect James

Molinaro and Transportation Alternatives concurred that an

across-the-board right on red rule would be a safety hazard."

HPVS BREAK 80MPH BARRIER

According to a story on the WISIL HPVers** website, "'The 2001 World

Human Powered Speed Challenge,' formerly known as the 'Worlds Fastest

Bicycle Competition,' has for the second year in a row pit man,

technology, and sheer determination against the unrelenting forces of

air resistance and friction to determine the absolute boundaries of man

powered speed for a 200 meter distance. Against a lineup of the fastest

bikes and riders in the world, Sam Whittingham has broken the record

for the second year in a row by going 80.55 MPH. That's almost 8 MPH

faster than last years record!

"The World Human Powered Speed Challenge is not only an opportunity to

set a world record for speed, it also represents the World's Fastest

Human propelled by his own power in the most efficient vehicles ever

designed. The marriage of maximum athletic power and high level

aerodynamic and engineering result in shockingly fast speeds..."

MINI--E.R. ON TWO WHEELS

According to a Nov. 29th story in the South County Journal in King

County, Washington, "A dozen King County Medic One paramedics have

completed training on 24-speed bicycles to become 'bike medics.' They

will use the bicycles when they're assigned to provide standby coverage

at parades, athletic events, the King County Fair and other events

where there are large crowds. Each bicycle carries a 25-pound pack of

emergency medical supplies. The pack includes a 5-pound portable

defibrillator, the device used to shock someone having cardiac arrest,

to restart the heart.

"Four paramedics, including program coordinator Lisa Parsons of

Enumclaw, will pedal in public for the first time Saturday at the

annual Enumclaw Christmas Parade. 'We've completed our training, which

included learning some fast braking and turning techniques,' said

Parsons, who has been a paramedic for 10 years..."

QUEENS BLVD TO GET PED MAKEOVER

According to a Dec. 5th story in the New York Daily News, "Efforts

to make Queens Blvd. safer for pedestrians are getting an infusion of

federal funds. The Transportation Appropriations Bill for fiscal year

2002 that the House of Representatives passed last week and the Senate

adopted yesterday earmarks $500,000 for improvements ? such as wider

medians, new traffic signal patterns, more streetlights and additional

pedestrian barriers to prevent jaywalking, Reps. Nita Lowey (D-Queens,

Bronx, Westchester), Joseph Crowley (D-Queens, Bronx) and Anthony

Weiner (D-Brooklyn, Queens) said...

"Officials said Queens Blvd. has become safer because of improvements,

including increased crossing time for pedestrians at some

intersections, under city Transportation Commissioner Iris Weinshall.

Lowey said that the funding will help the city in continuing the

progress on safety. Six pedestrians were mowed down last year, compared

with three so far this year. From 1993 through 2000, between four and

18 pedestrians were killed annually. Through Oct. 31, the number of

pedestrians struck dropped 21% compared with the same period last year."

$5 MILLION PED BRIDGE OPENS IN UTAH

According to a Dec. 5th AP story, "The University of Utah opened a

300-foot pedestrian bridge Wednesday that will be used by athletes

walking from the Olympic Village to the stadium for ceremonies. The $5

million suspension bridge spans six-lane Wasatch Drive, which divides

the university campus. It will be open for students and the public

except on days of Olympic ceremonies when it will be reserved for

Olympic athletes. The 20-foot-wide bridge hangs from cables and a

single pylon and can hold thousands of people at once. Sculptor

Jonathan Bronson was commissioned by university donors Robert Rice and

Kenneth Melby to make a bronze statue of a skier on the west end of the

bridge.

The George S. and Delores Dore Eccles Foundation contributed $2 million

for the bridge. Other donors and the university came up with the rest

of the money. The Eccles foundation is donating $8 million for Olympic

ceremonies and a 130-foot Olympic cauldron. That gift made the Eccles

banking family of Utah the biggest benefactor of the Salt Lake Olympics.

NEW EU RULES FOR SAFER CARS

According to a Nov. 27th Reuters story, "European Union governments

accepted Monday a voluntary commitment by automakers to improve the

design of their vehicles so fewer pedestrians die when they are hit by

cars. Under the deal, the industry will start implementing in 2002 new

safety measures ranging from the introduction of anti-locking ABS

breaks in all cars to the abolition of cow bars on the front of

vehicles. The agreement also aims at making the auto industry redesign

car fronts in order to try and reduce the number of casualties in car

crashes.

"'The EU states have decided to favour a voluntary system under the

agreement that all the necessary requirements are met by the industry,'

Per Haugaard, a spokesman for the European Commission, told Reuters.

'With the voluntary approach we'll start saving lives quicker.' Each

year 9,000 pedestrian and cyclists are killed in Europe and a further

200,000 injured in accidents involving cars, the European Commission

said in a background note."

PHOENIX PEDESTRIANS REPLACE PARKING LOTS

According to columnist Howard Seftel, writing in the Nov. 28th

edition of the Arizona Republic, "Three-month-old Portland's is the

kind of place I'm genetically wired to love. It's set on downtown

Phoenix's fringe, in an area that's starting to show signs of urban

life. Condos, clubs and cafes are replacing empty lots and dead

storefronts. Diners here may rub their eyes in disbelief when they gaze

out Portland's windows: Instead of a parking lot view, they can look at

a parade of passing pedestrians - folks walking their dogs, or out for

a stroll - just like in a real city.

"The place has a comfy neighborhood feel. Diana Krall and B.B. King

seem like the right voices to softly spill through the speakers. An

energetic buzz comes from the bar. The dining room's polished wood

tables, hefty cutlery and Art Deco-like blue sconces add to the

casually classy tone, as does the un-clich'd wine list. And the staff

makes customers feel at home, too..."

BAD AIR DAMAGES HEALTHY KIDS' LUNGS

Past research has found that children living in polluted areas have

higher rates of lung diseases such as asthma. But a new study is the

first to use X-ray imaging to measure changes in children with no

symptoms of lung problems, the researchers said..."

OZ DRIVERS REMINDED OF LOWER SPEED LIMITS

According to a Nov. 30th story on the Australian Broadcasting

Corporation, "Motorists in the goldfields and Esperance regions are

being reminded that new lower speed limits for local roads begin

tomorrow. Speed limits along built-up residential roads will drop from

60 kilometres to 50 kilometres an hour. Goldfields' Roadwise officer

Chris Parry says many of the roads affected by the change will not be

sign-posted so people need to take care. He says the lower speed limits

will save lives.

"'A lot of people get caught up in the argument that speed is an issue

for the major roads and the highways and speeds in excess of 110

kilometres an hour,' he said. 'We do know that most people that are

killed on our streets, most pedestrians, and that includes our

community's children, are being killed on residential streets [by

vehicles] traveling in excess of 60 kilometres an hour.'"

JETSONIAN TRAVEL ONE STEP CLOSER

According to a December 3rd story in the New York Times, "It is not

a hovercraft, a helicopter backpack or a teleportation pod. The mystery

transportation device being developed by the award-winning inventor

Dean Kamen -- the subject of continuous fevered speculation since

provocative clues and predictions surfaced in media reports last

January -- is not hydrogen-powered, a favored theory in Internet

discussions. Nor does it run on a super efficient Stirling engine (yet).

"But if the public's collective yearning for Jetsonian travel

technology must remain unrequited this week, at least the speculators

will have their curiosity satisfied. Mr. Kamen plans to demonstrate

today a two-wheeled battery-powered device designed for a single

standing rider. Its chief novelty lies in the uncanny effect, produced

by a finely tuned gyroscopic balancing mechanism, of intuiting where

its rider wants to go -- and going there.

"The device, the Segway Human Transporter, better known by its former

code- name, Ginger, can go up to 12 miles an hour and has no brakes.

Its speed and direction are controlled solely by the rider's shifting

weight and a manual turning mechanism on one of the handlebars..."

WILL ATLANTA BE A "SEGWAY CITY"??

According to a Dec. 4th story on ABC News, "As inventor Dean Kamen

envisions it, people in the next decade could be zipping around

neighborhood sidewalks, running errands and commuting to work on

motorized scooter-like devices. Kamen's newly unveiled Segway Human

Transporter is easy to operate, cheaper than a car, doesn't pollute and

can run all day on a rechargeable set of batteries. But are cities

ready to accommodate another mode of transportation? Urban planners say

it's a neat idea, but one that would take a lot of work.

"'You already have a lot of competition for speed space,' said Robert

Olmsted, a longtime veteran planner for the Metropolitan Transportation

Authority in New York City. 'There are bicycles, cars, taxis, emergency

vehicles and a lot of pedestrians. I'm not sure how easily these things

could fit in.' Some cities could absorb the devices more easily than

others, say planners. A metropolis like New York City, for example,

might be hard-pressed to make room for the slick new scooters, whereas

the smaller, more modern city of Atlanta is already drawing up plans to

accommodate Segway-riding citizens..."
