City Thread introduction
City Thread is a consultant that will help Petaluma develop a strategy and build the community consensus necessary to quickly build out an interconnected bicycle path network in Petaluma. I'm excited about what we are about to accomplish with City Thread.
A quick built traffic circle in Petaluma
The City is working with interested members of the public and with Safe Streets Petaluma to implement a quick build program that would allow members of the public to suggest street safety improvement and to have them quickly implemented with temporary structures that would allow for the demonstration and testing of the safety measure. If it turns out to be a good improvement to the neighborhood then a similar permanent installation can be built.

The beginning of a safe streets for everyone future
Fun to watch some of the new safe street changes going in around town in a couple of locations. The idea is to slow down cars and make it safer and inviting for bicycles, pedestrians and other folks to also use the streets. Even though I am a casual bicycle rider, some of the new lane configurations along Petaluma Blvd. South had me confused. So I got two other serious bike experts to come along and help me answer some of the questions people have about how the new lane striping is meant to be used, what's finished, what isn't done yet, what seems to be working and what might not yet be working with the street design changes. It's a work in progress, for sure.
