They said it couldn't be done, but WFB found a way to give drivers, and not bicyclists and pedestrians, a comically absurd detour route! Probably truck route related, but let's just revel in the small wins.

WFB is set to make the Santa Monica / Hampton intersection even worse for bicyclists and pedestrians. Not once during the process has an advocate felt like anything better was even possible. WFB truly does not care about anyone but drivers. Board approved it last night with few changes.

The approach to street safety in WFB matches our sand management for toddlers protocol: a useless sign that most will never read, where a barricade would have been far more effective. Many people got patted on the back for this playground too!

WFB has committed the same unforced error by failing to take advantage of construction to actually boost local businesses. Unbelievably hostile choices for no reason are making it nearly impossible to visit other businesses while closed streets could be a massive attraction for gathering.

The Sendiks project is aggressively hostile to anyone but drivers. The construction staff doesn’t have the most basic understanding of the issues and they owe us back every last cent for “managing” this.

You’re probably correct, though the block itself can probably bleed a lot of energy. Been a while but the area they were used probably doesn’t strictly need all this. Anyways, important to install them correctly!

Another interesting configuration in Milwaukee.

A well meaning library was failed by non-existent zoning and policy that could have added many more actually usable racks. Wtf are we doing.

WFB: Safe @wfbsafe.org · 11/07/2026

This parking is never discussed in the endless meetings where we wonder if we will survive the loss of a handful of car spaces for some street safety feature.

WFB: we put in one more bike rack two blocks from where you need it, what more do you want?!!??

Smart money would be to spend 15k on a used ford transit to haul 3 fire extinguishers from *illinois* and spend the remaining 50k on therapy for whatever is eating you alive

This guy couldn’t be more “I’m an entitled shitbag who will endanger your kids because I’m too fucking lazy to find a parking spot” if he tried. Dude was stopped and yelling at people who called the cops on him for parking illegally here.

The only parking problem WFB has ever had.

That one new lane for $2B should fix it (the other one new lane seems to not have helped … yet)

USPS might be the undisputed king of illegally parking for no reason whatsoever.

It feels hopeless when the DPW staff doesn’t for a second think this is a problem. No one cares.

On a Saturday morning in WFB you still encounter an aggressive driver who slows to roll their window down and yell at you, obstructing oncoming traffic, then accelerating away to sit at the next red light. Good work doing absolutely nothing to impact bike and ped safety, WFB trustees.

One of these was down not long ago around the OLT. It was hit by a car. How do I know, you ask? The headlight wedged inside it was a strong clue.

WFB: Safe @wfbsafe.org · 10/03/2026

WFB gave up on this, and WI Bike Fed membership years ago. Probably because we’ve solved safe streets already.

Don’t bike in the park, you might get hit by a car. Also yes there are always cars parked in front of that hydrant. Cars ruin cities.

Maybe in another 50 years we’ll have this, but for driving cars next to a school.

Imagine what it would be like if it were this instead!

010

WFB: Safe @wfbsafe.org · 28/02/2026

This is what our leaders think is not worth thinking about that much. We build compromised infrastructure to accommodate typical traffic and completely neglect the reckless drivers. Driver goes over the curb like it wasn’t even there.

You can actually spend a hell of a lot more money on these, make them way harder to assemble, and get all the same benefits of destroying a bike that can be easily stolen! Credit to our School District for locating these!

That explains why Whitefish Bay is installing these everywhere now! Mystery solved! Completely inadequate for the bikes that have previously been locked to a tree a few feet over. Unforced errors everywhere you look.

Drivers do SO MUCH for us by stopping in places the law requires it. We should be applauding them!

WFB: Safe @wfbsafe.org · 19/02/2026

These entitled pedestrians just stand there staring at me when I stopped for them, why don’t they accept my one nice fucking gesture for the day!!!!

WFB: Safe @wfbsafe.org · 15/02/2026

Second pedestrian hit in under two weeks. This might technically be Milwaukee but the intersection nearby is WFB and we’re going to rebuild it soon. Early designs are fucking terrible and will make these MORE common.

The resistance by the Village to just put a fucking rock in these daylighting zones is mind-boggling. Has to be a hundred drivers a week using this single, illegal spot. And most are probably just parking here because they have no idea they are putting peoples’ lives at risk doing this.

WFB: Safe @wfbsafe.org · 13/02/2026

Saw a photo like this long ago, pretty fascinating to know where heat is actually going! FWIW google image searches of all these topics is surprisingly good for anyone just curious what various techniques could look like.

WFB: Safe @wfbsafe.org · 13/02/2026

When will leaders get it through their dense skulls that mixing kids with cars in any way at all is a recipe for catastrophe? You don't even have to accept that some drivers are homicidal to have pretty good incentive to make streets, and any place cars are near people, safer.

WFB: Safe @wfbsafe.org · 13/02/2026

You can learn a LOT about the “why” here (a little hard to find, but MCFLS has it). You can seal junction boxes, windows, doors, pipe entry points, dryer/vent fan exhaust flaps, can lights, etc.

WFB: No one bikes in the winter, why should we bother shoveling bike racks, or literally any space a bicyclist might need? WFB Village Hall Bike Rack (bonus points for showing how terrible these wave racks are that we continue to install for some absurd reason):

60 yo female pedestrian hit in Shorewood. There’s a looming fight with WisDOT to either make this safer for people, or make sure drivers can reach deadly speeds in a busy commercial and residential corridor.

The Village was made WELL aware of the problems they were creating by relying on paint alone for this resurfacing project.

Just incredible that we simply put up a chain we already had, and the problem evaporated.

Muni: Please, use less salt. You can make a single cup work for an entire driveway! Together we can stop polluting Lake Michigan! The same muni, dumping gallons of salt into the streets, days before it's 40 degrees instead of plowing, in dozens of places:

Today the chains held firm. Many people were able to walk, or bike to school without the last 50 feet being the most dangerous part of their trip. The drivers simply .. went someplace else. Incredible victory for a revolutionary infrastructure change - closing the parking lot.

Yay, County plowed! But it's at the fringe of MKE so none of that direction *ever* gets plowed unless the county comes back with a *different* plow
