The whole point is to PREVENT serious and fatal injuries. If we wait until “enough” injuries (however many that is) happen before making changes, we are refusing to prevent those injuries. We will fail those victims. That’s fundamentally incompatible with our commitment to Vision Zero.

That’s how they are trying to attract voters. It’s called “negging.” xkcd.com/1027/

Anyway, if you support safe streets for people walking, rolling, biking, driving, or taking the bus in Ann Arbor, please write to City Council (CityCouncil@a2gov.org) and tell them to support CA-7 on Monday’s agenda. Thank you to Vision Zero Ann Arbor for this 🧵. bsky.app/profile/visi...

Finally, there’s just so much misinformation being spread that can be cleared up by reading the city’s public engagement website and FAQ. I hope people take the time to read through it. engage.a2gov.org/division-str...

Division Bikeway Extension Catherine Street to Broadway Bridge
Welcome to the Division Street Bikeway Extension Project page. This project is the DDA-led extension from Catherine St to the southern boundary of the Broadway Bridge.

Second, the framing of Carey Street as an “access ramp” to the Broadway Bridge is gross. Broadway and Carey are city streets. We should not be describing them in terms generally reserved for freeway infrastructure. City streets need to be slowed to safe speeds and that’s why this project is needed.

First, the idea that we ought to wait until some number of serious/fatal injury crashes happen is just so incredibly callous. It’s GREAT that the city is working to fix dangerous intersections before the bodies stack up. We should not be forced to spill blood on the altar of motornormativity.

I’ve seen some posters around town and social media discussions about Ann Arbor’s plans for the Division Bikeway Extension that make a couple points I think are particularly disturbing and worth calling out. #A2Council #AnnArbor #SafeStreets

“First general election following adoption“ of the proposal. I believe that would be 2028. So two years before the board sits.

Ann Arbor Advocacy Opportunity! 📢 On Monday’s City Council agenda there is a resolution to approve converting Carey St. to one-way going downhill. The anti-safety activists are revving up to oppose this. Please write to city council in support, and consider giving a public comment! #A2Council

We have given Ann Arbaugh’s “No More Road Diets” logo a 4-3 conversion. #A2Council #AnnArbor
Anne Arbaugh’s “No More Road Diets” logo. “No” has been replaced by a buffered two-way cycle track. Lanes have been narrowed and a 4-3 conversion implemented.

And your activism on this matter is why there is a “curb carts in the bike lane” category in See Click Fix now. Which would be great if anyone paid any attention to that category.

I’ve reported the same addresses many times, week after week. And these aren’t awkward situations with a sloped hellstrip or anything, all the neighbors place bins properly. If the city gave a shit they would just send someone out on trash day to check on repeat report locations.

#a2council The alternative here is to notice that we're all living this city w/ a significant degree of intimacy, & that we could choose to literally sit down together, discuss issues of concern in good faith w/ each other, & then collaboratively work toward universally beneficial compromises.
It bugs me that some people have decided to take their frustrations w/ the federal government out on our local government.

Also, I think some of those meetings had Public Hearings with more than 30 speakers, particularly those about the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. I may be thinking of Planning Commission meetings. Not sure this is a lie so much as a misunderstanding, but they ought to correct the record.

Adam Jaskiewicz @ajjaskie.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I’m not sure we have ever hit the 30 comment threshold since that rule was implemented, but I believe the rule was implemented because meetings with more than 30 speakers demonstrated a need for it. We have also had some meetings where more people showed up, but many were there to support speakers.

This letter from State Representative Jason Morgan is profoundly disappointing. Ann Arbor has committed again and again to Vision Zero, and our staff work hard to design safe infrastructure. This attempt to undermine that effort is embarrassing. #A2Council a2gov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=...

There’s crunchy leaves to step on and it’s no longer too hot to wear flannel and wool. Just swap out the Aperol Spritz on everyone’s menu with Glühwein and toss some blankets on the backs of the outdoor seating.

I hate that downtown Open Streets in Ann Arbor shuts down for the year just as it’s starting to get less muggy out. This shouldn’t be a summer-only thing. Crisp fall weather is a great time to be outdoors. Bring on the fire pits and hot drinks! #A2Council

Ann Arbor already prioritizes safety, according to our Transportation Plan. We are seeing slow progress, though, and still, some want to halt progress. Council, we need you to be bold in your support of staff. You already set the policy, and they are trying to carry it out. Cover them. #A2Council

There were plenty of things that were uncontroversial that she didn’t break consensus on. Unlike Hayner she didn’t vote no just to be contrarian. She was supportive of tenants rights stuff and was a Renter’s Commission liaison with @travisradina.bsky.social (not sure how material she was to that).

The city needs to take over the MDOT corridors like Huron. MDOT doesn’t prioritize safety over speed and convenience of drivers. This will keep happening until this infrastructure is made safe.

People love threatening to murder people for legally riding bikes. Of course drivers regularly hit cyclists riding in painted bike lanes or shoulders. It's almost like motorists don't need any excuse to inflict violence upon bicyclists.

It's amazing how some people dehumanize others simply for choosing a transportation method that doesn't involve a car. They also hate traffic and other drivers, while simultaneously seething with rage at anyone walking, cycling, or proposing we fund better public transit.

As someone who is heavily involved with advocacy for safe pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, I would not consider her an ally on that issue and I have never seen her show up in support. Always thought of her as one of those “as an avid cyclist…” types.
