This morning, the Baltimore City Council held a hearing on how we handle our yard waste. Right now, we don't compost it, we burn it - over 50,000 tons of it per year.

It's long past time to get our yard waste out of the incinerator and into the soil through separate collection and composting. Check out the sign on letter, and learn more from our technical comments at the link in our stories/highlights! Text on a purple background. "23 organizations support CB23-0466: Recyclable Materials and Yard Waste."

Polling conducted by our fellow advocates at @transportationalliance and @railstotrails in the weeks before the May primary election shows Baltimoreans want safer streets infrastructure and more transportation options.

🚶‍♂️ 79% say it's important to have trails in your neighborhood

🚍 71% say it's important to run MTA buses every 30 minutes or better

🚲 64% say bike lanes benefit people

🗳️ 58% say they'd be more likely to vote for a candidate who prioritizes trails

🚇 55% say it's important to build the Baltimore Red Line

🤝 A majority want to "Increase the number of dedicated bike lanes in Baltimore City" and "Build the projects in the Baltimore City Bicycle Master Plan."

Digging deeper into the data tells an even more compelling story.

Support for bike lanes is stronger from Black respondents (64%) and Latino respondents (74%) than white respondents (62%).

In addition to ensuring respondents reflected Baltimore's overall demographics, the poll ensured half of city residents were in zip codes adjacent to proposed trail facilities (such as the neighborhoods surrounding Gwynns Falls Parkway, 33rd Street, Chinquapin Run, and the Middle Branch).

Despite this focus on sampling these neighborhoods--places a few oppositional voices often point to as examples of where infrastructure is not wanted--only 4% of respondents oppose the Baltimore Greenway Trails Network.

The message from this poll and the subsequent primary election is clear: Baltimoreans are ready for safer streets infrastructure and transit investments.

They want to see the Baltimore Greenway Trails Network and the Separated Lane Network Plans implemented. Graphic showing support for biking and trails in Baltimore, replicated in the text description of this post

5.14.24 // Voting day fun! We volunteered for @electryandorsey and chatted with lots of people, got very wet in the rain, and celebrated a huge victory in the end. I love having my kids involved in the voting process and Election Day (at least before results sometimes 😬) is always a day I feel so inspired and proud to be an American. It’s like we’re one big team doing our part! 🇺🇸

The best councilperson in the best outfit in the best city. He will potentially also eat you if you don’t support abundant housing and bike lanes. NIMBYs beware.
