Sneckdown Alert! Document the Extra Space in Streets and Stroads

It could be sneckdown time again.

Hopefully the storm brings snow rather than ice. We need no repeat of the falling trees in the February 2021 ice storm. That was awful.

If you are fortunate and do not have to contend with any downed trees, as you are out and about this weekend in any snow, take pictures where you find extra space in the road clear of any tire tracks. This is space that could be repurposed for bike lanes, extra sidewalk, shorter crosswalks, or reduced auto travel lane width to slow cars.

It might come in handy for our Vision Zero project, Twenty is Plenty program, and TSP update!
