Meanwhile in Red Bank NJ, smugness-abounds from a faction who have put back the cause of progressive politics and community involvement in the town for years…
Climate has waited for the last three years at least in RB
Clearly this poster hasn’t sat in council meetings and seen their questions about climate change preparedness policies, municipal electric vehicles purchasing, utilities, etc., being pooh-poohed by the very sect this poster installed
Just taking a brief look and making a couple of notes about the town’s much vaunted pedestrian safety scheme now being installed on the offset intersection on Drs James Parkers Blvd and Bridge St.

Best information on scheme available from town hall… posted on Facebook
Reminder, total deaths on NJ roads are falling this year… Pedestrian and cycling deaths are actually up on last year.
I foresee some spectacularly dangerous moves by impatient drivers to make left turns whilst avoiding, or not, the centre island.
New Jersey e-bike law: It’s hard to see how Sen Mukherji’s S4830 amendment will ease the confusion.

Heading south on Bridge St, the town’s only designated bike lane has faded to a badly worn sharrow. Meanwhile at the top of the street cyclists will be banned from making a left turn towards the bike lane’s natural destination, the Count Basie Fields
