The rest is simply made up. Crash Modification Factor shows crash reductions across all studies (less than 1 means crash reduction). cmfclearinghouse.fhwa.dot.gov/results.php

This is a selective and incorrect citation of the MUTCD.

Would love to see the city specific subs listed on their own.

State projects all have a mandatory onsite construction and engineering inspection (CEI) that would catch this before it was poured. I don't know Metro's inspection policy.

The crazy thing about this is that it was a brand new rebuilt curb ramp. The contractor installed it wrong. They could have just had the contractor redo it, at no cost.

I needed a radiator cap for my 1994 Toyota pickup. After ages in the pull apart junkyard, I found a replacement. It was a perfect fit, stamped with "TOYODA." For a fleeting moment, it felt godlike.

We even lost the decorative posts that the neighbors had invested and taken pride in. They were never restored.

There is of course, no reason to remove the 4 way stop because of a bike lane, only because you want traffic on the main line to flow faster.
When it was reversed, we lost bike lanes, a turn lane, and a safer street because of poor and intractable traffic engineering.

NDOT (Public Works at the time) insisted the 4 way stop being removed in the name of traffic throughout.
Instead of owning up to that, Public Works and the CM instead blamed the bike lanes as the culprit, instead of poor traffic engineering judgement to remove the 4 way.

When the road diet/bike lane, came in 2017, the neighborhood and CM came out hard against it. But it wasn't about a bike lane- it was because of the 4 way stop at Cleveland and N 9th St.
The neighbors had rightly fought hard for and gotten installed a 4 way stop with decorative signage seen here.

Even TDOT had a strict response and record keeping requirement when submitted officially.

As a public servant, I can't refuse to answer questions because I think the questioner is adversarial.

@walkbikenashville.bsky.social beat you to it last season.
A little difficult to get to because of too many cars and a couple of six lane highways, but available nonetheless.

Used to have one on our corner in the heart of the neighborhood (12th and Lenore) until the early 2000s

Like an angel of protection just swooped down from the heavens!
Response from truck lady, completely shocked, "No you don't understand, we park in the bike lane every day!"

I've found that people are very theoretically in favor but as soon as there is a concrete idea proposed, opposition is rife mostly with the boogeyman of traffic. I think the only remedy to this on a granular level is showing successful examples like this.

I mean versus streaming, that seems to be a major hurdle.
