[CSGreenways] Fwd: Feb 24th: Traffic signals should prioritize people

 

Hey folks,

 

I thought some members of your group might be interested in joining us on Monday.

All people deserve traffic signals that allow them to walk and roll safely and with dignity. Sadly, right now most of our traffic signals are timed to prioritize cars speeding through our neighborhoods rather than people walking.

Join us Monday, February 24th <http://email.mg.seattlegreenways.org/c/eJxtjttqxCAQhp9GL8UZ4-nCiyzdfY3gGtcNNVoS29C3r2npTSnM4eeDGb7ZWS4USLo45Mg5gj17EAzYVaIWoxiNHeEmr0AGvia2R99ajmmLsRz-c2d1SzSnPK1-yUtJ0zITeSHyxZ0LEQRHqbGnzmh2z9bediJGgrdex3Gwhw_xXusrC3XtKH7E0vYeUIOVpk8DYCTnHdHNpbrNtXSXf0Wa8yHU99ImABSaPh1E1PahrbI6KmGMR2lAqbv0QxyCt9_uv0d_3c8fP-Zfo71WEA>  at 220 2nd Ave S, Seattle to get this campaign moving. If you can't make it on Monday join our online discussion group <http://email.mg.seattlegreenways.org/c/eJxtj0GOwyAMRU9DdoOMHZqyYJFq2mtEhBCKREIFRKPevklH3YxGsmX7W7b-m7QCOgnZBI2AACjUkS1xwa8SO-qpP6te3ORVsBYWz4sztUbns3Prj3kWnrJvoo_DYkIMqx_CxOSFyW99FERBgLLDvdu1Jup7rY_CqGd428PntD0K9yn56LhNy67NKW_Le00MxWeq2cxzsF8l-NXE0mTtU57Surv611LVxtq0rXUQAqlr7pqMNQBno06jdahAzc440xJQO3ZihDfF5-gvxfHjl-EF2pFc0g> . 



In 2020 we will advocate for the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) to adopt a comprehensive signals policy that:

*	Gives people enough time to cross the street.
*	Limits how long people have to wait for a walk light. 
*	Eliminates “beg buttons” except in rare circumstances. Beg buttons require a person to push a button before the traffic light will allow them to cross, rather than automatically giving pedestrians a green light with parallel vehicle traffic.

Get involved:

Join us on Monday to learn more about this issue and discuss how we can make traffic signals prioritize people. No experience necessary! 

When: Monday, February 24th from 5:30-7:00 PM
Where: 220 2nd Ave S, Seattle WA. 1st Floor Board Room
