New cargo bike rental service in Montreal! I was involved a bit in the testing. Super cool concept. Download the app, pay by the half hour, access the bikes at 5 cafes around Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie. The 3-wheeled bikes are easy to get the hang of (just note that the turning radius is large).

"A Gothamist analysis of NYPD data found a total of 1,526 crashes in the congestion zone south of 60th Street between the toll’s launch on Jan. 5 and April 21. That marks a 13% reduction, or 218 fewer collisions, compared to the same period last year." It just works. gothamist.com/news/nyc-car...

NYC car crashes have been declining. Congestion pricing accelerated the trend.

There were 1,526 crashes in the congestion zone south of 60th Street between the toll’s launch on Jan. 5 and April 21. That marks a 13% reduction compared to the same period last year.

Since 2020, there have been 4,231 crashes on Pulaski - with 902 injuries and 10 fatalities. We wondered why things were worsening on this dangerous stretch of road, so, last summer, we pulled data, surveyed our neighbors and hosted a forum with CDOT, IDOT and Active Trans Alliance. 🧵

472 people were surveyed re: Pulaski. 96% said speeding was the top concern; we highlighted also the barrage of semi truck traffic and related noise and air pollution. The most dangerous intersections were at 47th and 63rd Streets, and Archer Avenue.
