But Madison is working on it? But even that might not be enough, says Jason Vargo <http://ghi.wisc.edu/person/vargo-jason/>, who studies urban planning at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and led the recent study on bicycle deaths. He says society also needs to change the definition of what a road is to implicitly include bikers.
Some cities — like Madison, Wis., San Francisco and Portland, Ore. — are starting to do a better job at this. "They're slowing down speeds on biking routes, adding protective places for cyclists and using different-colored paint," Vargo says. http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/09/02/436662737/as-more-adults-pedal-their-biking-injuries-and-deaths-are-spiking-too D.C. though - every 2nd grade class will have a learn to ride PE unit: http://www.citylab.com/commute/2015/09/why-dc-will-teach-every-kid-how-to-ride-a-bike/401621/ Speaking of working on it - I don't know who to thank but thanks for redoing the on and off bumps on the Campus drive path for the Walnut Street bridge! They used to be worrisome but there's new concrete (haven't been on it in a while) and now it's smooth as can be! -- a Andy Bach, [email protected] 608 658-1890 cell 608 261-5738 wk
