Why do people have a problem with bikes?
I've always been perplexed at all negativity that gets directed at bicyclists in general, and those who ride on Critical Mass in particular. The people from around the world that I've met this week as I worked on our cover story about the 20th anniversary of Critical Mass have been some of the nicest and most positive and life-affirming people I've met in a long time, the exact opposite of the sometimes-voiced stereotype that they're entitled or angry.
So I was interested to read a pair of dueling online posts this week analyzing why motorists and other non-cyclists feel such disproportionate and inexplicable anger and resentment toward a whole class of people who have made a transportation choice that helps everyone, reducing traffic congestion and transit costs while helping protect the environment and reduce dependence on oil.
Their answers range from the affect heuristic, which is the idea that emotional triggers like seeing a cyclist almost get splattered affect our perceptions far more than our reason, to the resentment many drivers feel about being stuck in traffic while cyclists zip past them and just the basic sense of how foreign and strange cycling seems to many who don't do it.
Some of those arguments ring more true to me than others, but I think the entire discussion is a fascinating one to have in the days leading up to this Friday's 20th anniversary Critical Mass ride, which will feature a rainbow of nationalities, ideologies, ethnic and class backgrounds, and other traits – their only real commonality being an affinity for bikes.
"I just really like to ride. It's a meditative thing for me. All my epiphanies come to me on a bike," Alix Avelen, a 25-year-old woman who just moved to San Francisco from Toronto, bike touring the final leg from Vancouver starting in July, told me during Sunday's Art Bike/Freak Bike Ride, part of the CM20 celebration.
It was her very first Critical Mass, although she's been a regular urban cyclist for the last six years, and she believes that it's important to have events, communities, and cultural happenings that promote cycling: "It just makes sense in cities."
"We're going to end up riding bikes because oil is getting more expensive and the streets are becoming more crowded," rRez, a San Francisco native and longtime supporter of the city's cycling community, told me on that ride. "Things are changing partly because we want them to change and partly because the old world is not sustainable."
We can continue to cling to the old ways in the face of evidence that neither local roads nor our taxed planet can accommodate an indefinitely growing number of cars. Or we can encourage more people to try riding bikes, and give us the infrastructure we need to do it safely, rather than seeing us as a hostile force trying to take over your roads.
Even grungy looking anarchists like Justin Hood of the Black Label Bike Club offer surprisingly clear-eyed assessments of the role of bikes and Critical Mass. "The point of Critical Mas is just to go out and ride your bike. It's not supposed to be about confronting drivers and smashing cars," Hood said, admitting that there are times and places for such aggressive resistance, just not during this ride. "The point of Critical Mass is that if there's enough of us, we are traffic. And this Critical Mass coming up is going to be gigantic!"
Or if you'd rather talk than ride, there are some opportunities for that this week as well, including the Shift Happens: Critical Mass at 20 book release party and discussion at 5:45 this afternoon at the Main Library; and the International Critical Mass Symposium from 5-8pm on Saturday at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Let me begin by saying that I am an avid cyclist. I also, drive, walk, and use BART, Muni, and Caltrain. People dislike cyclists (not bikes) because far too many riders behave with impunity towards the rights of others. When walking, I all too frequently have to ask cyclists to please ride in the street. The response is either a) the one fingered salute, b) a stream of profanity, c) justification for riding on the sidewalk, or d) all of the above. How does such behavior foster goodwill towards cyclists?
Stand at the corner of 3rd and Market between 8 and 9 AM on a work day, and count the number of cyclists who have moved from the right hand side of the street to the left in order to make an illegal left hand turn while running a red light, completely oblivious to the stream of pedestrians trying to cross with the right-of-way.
There are many encounters between motorists and cyclists, with the motorist frequently being in the wrong, but how often have you seen an encounter between a pedestrian and a cyclist where the pedestrian is in the wrong? Personally speaking, I never have. If cycling activists want fewer cars on the road, why do so many cyclists challenge pedestrians? Aren't walkers part of the solution?
Until rampant poor behavior on the part of cyclists is brought under control, the cycling community will never garner the respect and voice in urban planning it so badly wants.
I would say that while on a bike I have had to ride out into traffic for pedestrians who wonder out into the street and then stare at oncoming traffic or are just staring down the street at a bus stop, I suppose the farther you move out into the street the faster the bus shows up.
I've almost been run into by bike riders as they race through stop signs, after I have waited for my turn to go while on a bike. While crossing the street with the light my dog was run into by one of these life style choice riders. So these un-entitled people really have no respect for anyone, but they were nice to Steve.
Part of he annoyance with life style bike riders is the "one less car attitude," which is really a justification for their lack of awareness.
Thank you for this - As a cyclist for 30 years, then mostly pedestrian and occasional driver for the last 20 years, it is exactly the rampant poor behavior of the current crop of cyclists in SF that gives all cyclists a bad name. As an aging pedestrian, I've learned to view all of them as enemies, and a far bigger danger to my life and limb than drivers ever were.
Cyclists are a far bigger danger to your life and limb than drivers ever were?
Since 2008, San Francisco has averaged 17 pedestrian deaths a year. I believe there has been one pedestrian death caused by a cyclist in that time frame. So, as a pedestrian, you are about 70 times more likely to be killed by a car than a bike. How are cyclists in any way a bigger danger to your life than drivers?
Because many many bicyclist do not follow the rules. They blow stop signs, red lights. They don't stop for pedestrians when they should - they just go around them. They are totally invisible at night right out in front of me and blow red lights at night. I've come very close to completing left turns on a GREEN ARROW only to have someone on a bike with no lights blast into the intersection coming down a hill.
A bike is a moving vehicle. Again, A bike is a moving vehicle just like an automobile in the eyes of safety and the state vehicle codes.
So you have public roads mainly populated with cars, bikes and pedestrians.
If a pedestrian decides they can cross they road whenever they want because they are a pedestrian and not a car - it makes it unsafe for EVERYONE.
Same for people on bikes. If you are on a bike and not following the rules you are creating situations where drivers and pedestrians alike have to react to your unsafe actions.
If any bike, pedestrian, or car is not following laws put in place for safety - then everyone is put at higher risk.
Living in the bay area - I'm happy to share the road - if you follow the rules. But too often I feel that bicyclists think that because they are on a bike they are entitled to their own set of rules - I go whenever I want because I am on a bike.
I do encounter a lot of respectful bicyclists - but they are not the majority. The vast majority of bicyclists I encounter yell and swear at me when I do nothing but try share the road when they do nothing but treat the road like its all theirs.
I agree with you 100%!! I constantly see bicyclist running lights and breaking all kinds of road rules, but they are the first to yell at you or give you the finger if you almost hit them because they ran a red light. I'm sorry, but these people are selfish, self-absorbed idiots. That is why people hate bicyclists.
It's this simple: as a pedestrian I'm buzzed, at close range, by a bicyclist riding illegally on the sidewalk nearly every day. This isn't some person leisurely making their way through the city, but aggro riders at high speed. During walks with my dog or my daughter in my neighborhood, this can be horrifying.
And yet it's rare, if ever, that I feel threatened by a driver. Encounters with even the most oblivious drivers on the road are rarely as scary as being buzzed on the sidewalk by a cyclist.
Are cars more dangerous than bikes? Of course they are, especially in inclement weather. But when the cars brake for me when I'm in the crosswalk, and when I continually get sideswiped in bright daylight on the sidewalk, it's the bikes and not the cars that are scary.
Combine this with the holier-than-thou attitudes of many cyclists, who have spent so many years bitter about cars that they don't seem to understand how they're harassing those of us using our feet and public transit to get around, and you have a recipe for resentment.
I biked for many years before moving to San Francisco, and before moving to here, I too believed that it was a wonderful, environmentally-conscious, healthy way to get around. I don't want to be associated with the ones cyclists I've had to deal with here. The SF cycling community opened my eyes to everything that's wrong with cycling in America, and somehow got me to hate and resent something that I used to find fun, healthy and enjoyable.
This is exactly the case. I am an avid cyclist but I hate other cyclists and I especially hate cycle coalitions. They really are part of the problem. There's no desire to teach people about safety or traffic laws. They just want more bicycles on the street at all costs. They encourage cyclists to break the law by using the "Idaho Stop" - which apparently just means running any and all signals and signs at full speed, and they're basically against helmets. They worry if people think their hair will get mussed they won't want to ride. Remember, as many cyclists as possible at all costs. It's a really sad state.
totaly agree. waiting to cross at 8th & market 3 cyclists were cruising on the friggin sidewalk to "avoid street traffic" , and forced there way thru a group of waiting pedestrians to make the opposite light..rude and self centered comments traded.....not a way to win support for thier cause.
@Guest -- I have lots of encounters with pedestrians where if I wasn't paying attention we'd both be injured due to their negligence. This morning I was riding through the panhandle on the right-hand side of the path when a women with earbuds in and eyeballs glued to the text message she was writing decided to step in front of me. Fortunately I have working brakes!
Pedestrians frequently cross when they have one or two seconds left and as a result make everyone else wait during a green light.
Of course pedestrians are part of the solution, as is anything that reduces the number of single-occupancy vehicles on the roads, but your claim that cyclists display "rampant poor behavior" is unfounded. For every anecdote you have of that time a cyclist pissed you off I've probably got one where a pedestrian pissed me off. That doesn't prove anything beyond the fact that idiots tend not to favor one form of transportation.
Kill thed pedestrians. Bikers rule.
Simple- They are on the road, riding next to me, I have to watch carefully for them, yet, they apparently do not have to obey the same laws I do, i.e stop signs, red lights, etc. It is a rare sighting of a cyclist who actually stops at a stop sign or a red light. Too many times I have come to a stop sign, stopped and started to go when a cyclist comes flying down a hill and causes me to slam on my brakes because he/she completely failed to stop at the intersection. That is why cyclists bug me.
All road users break the law, everyday, all over the city, for everyone to see. Motorists speed and run red lights, pedestrians jaywalk, and cyclists don't come to complete stops -- but only cyclists seem to be the target of such widespread scorn and derision, challenged on both our behaviors and what people perceive to be our attitudes. The articles I link to offer some interesting explanations about why that may be. As for your point, DN, that you need to "watch carefully for them," I think that is a common misconception that adds to conflicts on the road. We cyclists can take care of ourselves, and if drivers just follow the normal rules of road, accepting the right of way and proceeding when it's their turn (without acting as if they're more entitled to space in the lane than we are), then we'll all get along just fine. And if we behave in a reckless way, such as running a red light into your path, and we get hurt, that's a risk that we've assumed and accept. We don't need special treatment, just fairness.
"And if we behave in a reckless way, such as running a red light into your path, and we get hurt, that's a risk that we've assumed and accept. "
What about damage to my car, what about my insurance rates, what about the trauma I experience from getting your blood all over my car? And frankly I do need to watch carefully, plenty of cyclists out there with no lights at night, no common sense, etc.
or at least slow down enough if they don't have the right away, many bike riders will just expect the cars to wait for them as they race on through. I seldom have been cut off by a car at a four way stop, it can happen to me any day of the week from a fellow member of the bike rider club.
When riding up to a stop sign and seeing that I don't have the right of way I come to a stop, there are so many poor actors on bikes that cars just expect me to blow through, so drivers just sit there, which fucks it up for everyone as we all sit there.
Drivers don't honk their horns and blast through stop signs, which would be the car equivalent.
Many riders do expect special treatment, and it's not a small minority.
Along with:
Riding at night with no lights front or back.
Never indicating upcoming turns.
Running red lights.
Running red lights when 1+ cars are clearly in the middle of a green arrow turn.
Riding on the sidewalk esp busy sidewalks.
Failing to yield to a pedestrian inside a crosswalk.
Riding down a road against traffic.
Riding down one way streets the wrong way.
Riding into traffic whenever they feel like it.
And many more...
I'm an avid biker and a non-car owner (use City Carshare). I hope the bike lane network is expanded.
But some of the Critical Mass people are completely out of line. Last spring, I saw a spate of them spitting on a car that was stuck in the middle of an intersection (and it wasn't an expensive car, but an old Toyota)
I don't drive, have never owned a car. I walk and bus. I love walking, and don't enjoy riding bikes -- but I always supported Critical Mass and bike lanes. Yet in the last few years, the sheer number of ill-behaved, rude, dangerous cyclists has skyrocketed, and I'm beginning to hate them all, despite myself.
I live and work in in SOMA, and it's an epidemic of assholes riding down the sidewalk because it's a one way street and they're too goddamn lazy to go around the block. When I tell them to get off the sidewalk, politely, they scream obscenities at me.
Everyone complains about the inconvenience of cyclists on the road and you never hear about the nasty pollution that cars leave behind.
Your entitlement is not really the point here.
People who walk everywhere don't produce the pollution that is required to dig, smelt and weld the metal for bikes.
We should all walk to work at our mud huts down by the river.
How many cyclists from their recklessness have killed pedestrians? They have a holier than thou, sanctimonious attitude. They forget they have to follow the rules of the road, just as an automobile does. They think they can ride on the sidewalks, and pedestrians have to get out of the way. Critical Mass is a reason for chaos--nothing more; I don't want to hear that it has something to do with saving the environment--that hypocrisy. They are as irrational as Occupy is; spoiled brats. Tell the cyclists to WALK, like decent people do...
After ten years of bicycling in the city, I have had exactly two confrontations with motorists, but I have experienced dozens of incidents with other bicyclists. There's always some jerk dressed like Lance Armstrong barreling through a stoplight without pausing, or riding the wrong way down a sidewalk right next to a bike lane, or making daring left hand turns through crowds to avoid a stoplight, text-messaging while riding and other stupid moves. Who are these people? Didn't they learn anything as kids? (I suspect most of them grew up in gated communities where they could do anything they wanted.) I almost had a collision last weekend with an urban warrior-twitter manager who cut into my lane to avoid a stoplight at about forty miles an hour. This happened on "the wiggle," the new Yup-infested bike path. My solution: I avoid bike paths and bike events and other bicyclists whenever I can.
On a meta level we have the breakdown of civil society -- i.e. the idea that each individual is a perfectly formed mote of self-interest born to run free: Ayn Randian soul-cancer.
In such a spiritually-devoid (and I use the term *quite* loosely) milieu, we end up with yahoos acting anti-socially; even when engaged in an activity which is at its foundation positive on so many levels.
There are few things more amusing than cutting off a would-be Lance Armstrong in his silly little costume while I'm in my car. Forcing bikers to stop so fast that they wipe out is the highlight of my day.
Odd to see a supposedly progressive publication supporting a demonstration that makes it harder for working people to get home from work.
In a dynamic city like San Francisco, there are a multitude of factors that cause delays worse than the 10 minutes it generally takes Critical Mass to ride past (sometimes a bit longer if motorists lose their minds and spark a conflict), almost all of them involving too many people taking private automobiles, whether they're going to a Giants game, heading to Tahoe for the weekend, or just headed home from work. Critical Mass adding an extra bit of snarl once a month pales in comparison to the many inconveniences of everyday life in a teeming metropolis. Honestly, Rob, we've talked and I generally think you're a pretty smart and reasonable guy, but I've never understand your near pathological obession with cyclists.
It is this "we are so much better that you" because we ride and you pollute and us causing you problems is ok because we are spreading a good message etc.
Purposely wasting peoples time as opposed to acts of god?
So good. What are you talking about bike, riders in this town not being entitled?
Rightly or wrongly most drivers view bicyclists as wanting a seat at the transportation decision table without making the fiscal contributions to back up that demand. I know Steven's response - bicyclists already contribute to the road repair fund through general taxes they pay on income, sales, property blah, blah, blah. But this is a perception issue which could so easily be mitigated through the imposition of a $10 yearly fee on bicyclists. That, very simply, would silence their critics and calm much of the rancor that's directed at them as a group.
Of course that's entirely too much for Stephen and his ilk - who'd rather soak motorists with increases in vehicle registration fees and gas taxes than cough up a measly $10. Meanwhile the Highway Trust Fund, which includes monies for mass transit, takes in less and less each year as people use less gasoline due to increasing gas mileage standards and drive less. Bicyclist's solution? Raise taxes and make drivers pay more. And it's important to note that bicyclists DO NOT contribute to the Highway Trust Fund - which is entirely funded by gas and heating oil taxes.
through the defense budget largely devoted to keeping world petro lines open. Bicyclists benefit by miniscule amounts from that. Pedestrians and bicyclists subsidize car drivers *already* far too much.
(Not to be taken as validation for piggish behavior on two-wheels, you rude bikey scum reading this.)
Motorists pay directly through their purchase of gasoline, bicyclists do not - although they do pay some road maintenance fees through general taxes. It's the absence of a direct fee, like the one motorists pay each time they purchase gasoline or register their cars or use a toll road or bridge, which makes drivers crazy. Telling motorists they're already subsidized too much in response to their complaints is a non-starter - it's like Mitt Romney telling 47% of Americans they're dead-enders and freeloaders - it just pisses people off.
This is all in response to Steven's query - not really my personal opinion. I drive and bike and walk so I can see all three sides.
in this context.
89% of households own a car.
Study Finds Americans Own 2.28 Vehicles Per Household
etc... The vast majority of Americans take part in driving.
How is something a subsidy if a vast majority of people do it?
Since the vast majority of people don't ride bikes as a general rule while not paying various targeted taxes directed at vehicle owners, they are actually getting the subsidy.
Lets try an exercise, is giving free MUNI tickets a subsidy in you mind?
I agree that American foreign policy sucks, but it seems to be done to keep gas cheap for the vast majority of people who drive.
Out of deference to Daniele E, I'm keeping this clean, but I really feel like hurling a torrent of cuss words at you for being so over-the-top silly.
I mean really: wiki.answers? Oh, geeze.
The real absurdity is your other "citation." Did you do this as a joke? And asking *me* if I "understand" as something like a punch line?
The study which shows 2.28 vehicles per household... is... of...households... which .... have... one... car... or... more....
D'ya know? This *is* emblematic of the kind of sloppy ridiculous tripe you and your fellow anti-Mirkarimi reactionary haters peddle here on a daily basis.
Why don't you just go away? SFGate *needs* you.
Besides the extremely dubious source for your statistics, and your incompetent misunderstanding of what the study regarding car ownership signified, your underlying premise is ridiculous. I forgot to point that out because I was so flabbergasted by your use of Wiki Answers.
Matlock, just try to put "site:.edu" in the Google search window after your search terms. That way you'll come up with some credible university syllabus or published paper.
There are something like 80 vehicles for every 100 people in the U.S., but that doesn't neccessarily equate to 89% of households having cars.
In any case, your premise that if a majority of people get a subsidy for something, then it is by definition not a subsidy is absolutely false. How can you even think such a thing? Ridiculous. Unless *everybody* is getting a subsidy, then there are winners and losers.
One more thing: the costs of automobile transit -- and other petro-based transit -- fall also on the environment, but these costs are deferred onto future generations through global climate change. That's a *huge* subsidy.
of people obviously own or transit by car.
You do not understand the word subsidy.
Out of deference to Daniele E, I'm keeping this clean, but I really feel like hurling a torrent of cuss words at you for being so over-the-top silly.
I mean really: wiki.answers? Oh, geeze. I don't even quote wikipedia, but wiki answers?
Of course that's tame compared to your real absurdity. Is your other citation a joke? Was your asking *me* if I "understand" something like a punch line?
Your vaunted study which shows 2.28 vehicles per household... is... of...households... which .... have... one... car... or... more....
It says so right in the first line! "In a study of households with at least one vehicle, Experian Automotive found that households with three or more cars are the single largest group among American car owners."
D'ya know? This *is* emblematic of the kind of sloppy ridiculous tripe you and your fellow anti-Mirkarimi reactionary haters peddle here on a daily basis.
Why don't you just go away? SFGate *needs* you.
Who the hell still uses heating oil? We burn coal.
Steve -
Spend some time at Valenica and Market Streets, near the Flax store, but not on the sidewalk or you'll risk getting hit by a speeding bicyclist.
Also check out all the fast bikers coming down the north side of Market between Buchanan and Laguna, after taking a left off the bike path behind Safeway.
If you do this, you'll see what lots of bikers such as myself and plenty of pedestrians see all the time: Bikers putting others at risk by riding on the sidewalks of Market Street.
Actually, many stretches of Market Street's sidewalks are hazards to pedestrian because of bikers. Or hangout on Wednesday at the congested UN Plaza Farmers' Market and witness dozens of bikers recklessly weaving in and out of the pedestrians shopping and almost getting hit.
Maybe then you'll have a few answers as to why people have problems, not with bikes, but unsafe bikers using the sideWALKs for riding.
That's often all that there is time to say when encountering two-wheeled louts.
I think its fine to ride on the sidewalk, but it should *only* be done at slow speed posing absolutely *no* danger -- or even perceived threat -- to the pedestrians who have a *much* clearer entitlement to be there; meaning come to a full stop and dismount in the presence of children, baby carriages, or crowds, and ride at walking speed making sure your presence is known at other times when pedestrians are present.
is because you always have to sidestep the speeding bikers?
Now I'll be ready: if a bikey tries that retort on me, I won't waste any time being astonished, but rather I will *immediately* throw a rock at 'em.
A mixture of jealousy and envy is what I believe makes motorists scornful of cyclists.
Having said that, cyclists can be an annoyance and danger to pedestrians, especially those cyclists that ride on the sidewalk at greater speeds than pedestrians walk. If cyclists ride at the same speed as pedestrians, the risk of collisions are dramatically reduced.
Works for me. I've been riding almost exclusively on the sidewalks in SF for about ten years. Never had an accident with a pedestrian.
Until we have infrastructure in place to make cycling completely safe from motorists, I will continue to use the sidewalks.
+1. Avid should know he's breaking the law. It's not legal to drive your car on the sidewalk, why should it be legal to ride your bike there.
I will when the streets are safe for cyclists. They're not.
I'll just drive up on the sidewalk and leave my car there - when there are enough parking spots THEN I'll park on the street.
I too think the streets are too dangerous to bike on. So I walk or bus. You could join me.
Don't want to walk or bus? Then deal with those streets. Don't make your problem my problem.
I'm sick of dodging cyclists on the sidewalks, being nearly run over as they blindly charge up the handicapped ramp at intersections, disgusted watching them speed down upon pedestrians from behind, blowing past unsuspecting old and disabled people, who stop dead, wobbling, startled, as the asshole "I'm better than you because cars are bad" cyclist obliviously continues on down the sidewalk. Yeah. Your superiority to cars makes it OK to be a jerk to people who walk with canes. Right.
"...admitting that there are times and places for such aggressive resistance, just not during this ride."
When, exactly? And why can I just hear the glee in his voice at the prospect of such aggression? Find me an auto driver who thinks that way.
And now for a break from all the vitriol... Cool band from Colombia~

Salem Soccer Wins Second in a Row
Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College soccer team remained perfect through their first two games, with a 3-0 victory over Peace College in Raleigh. Salem improved their record to 2-0, while Peace dropped to 0-3. The game was delayed one hour due to Hurricane Hannah.
Salem was able to get on the scoreboard in the first 3 minutes, when Tatum Justice scored an unassisted goal. The Spirits scored again in the 10th minute when Brittany Thurlow fired a shot into the bottom right corner. Thurlow's goal was assisted by Tori Collier. The score remained 2-0 at halftime.
Michala Michaux finished the third goal of the game on a corner kick taken by Kim Wisen. Michaux's goal was scored in the 51st minute. Salem outshot Peace 32-15. Andrea Baldwin and Brittany Tedrick combined in goal for the shutout. Baldwin recorded 3 saves and Tedrick had 6 saves. Sherry Revels allowed all three goals against Peace, and recorded 15 saves.
"I was glad to see us get an early lead, so that we could rest some players who are injured," said Salem Head Coach Jay Callahan. "We have three tough matches over the next week that we need everybody healthy for."
Salem is on the road again on September 7 as they head to Shenandoah University in Virginia.

Mayor-elect John Cranley invited reporters to his home in Mt. Lookout on Wednesday to discuss his plan and priorities for his first term as mayor of Cincinnati.
Cranley claims the invitation to his house represents the kind of accessible, transparent leadership he'll take up when he begins his term on Dec. 1.
Speaking on his immediate priorities, Cranley says he already contacted the nine newly elected council members and intends to build more collaboration with all sides of the aisle, which will include a mix of five Democrats, two Republicans, one Charterite and one Independent starting in December.
One of Cranley's top priorities is to cancel the $133 million streetcar project, which Cranley and six newly elected council members oppose. He also argues that the city should stop spending on ongoing construction for the project.
"Seriously, look at who got elected yesterday. At some point, this is a democracy. We shouldn't be agitating voters like this," Cranley says. "Let's not keep spending money when it looks like the clear majority and the clear mandate of yesterday's election was going in a different direction."
But in response to recent reports that canceling the streetcar project could carry its own set of unknown costs, he says he will weigh the costs and benefits before making a final decision. If the cost of cancellation is too high, Cranley acknowledges he would pull back his opposition to the project.
Canceling the streetcar project would also require an ordinance from City Council.
Mike Moroski, who on Tuesday lost in his bid for a council seat, already announced on Twitter
that he's gathering petition signatures for a referendum to prevent the project's cancellation.
Cranley promises he won't stop a referendum effort by
placing an emergency clause on an ordinance that cancels the project, but he expressed doubt that a referendum would succeed.
On the current city administration's plan to lease the city's parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, Cranley says he will work with fellow lawyers David Mann and Kevin Flynn, both of who won seats for council on Tuesday, to find a way to cancel the deal.
But that could prove tricky with the lease agreement already signed by the city and Port Authority, especially as the Port works to sell bonds — perhaps before Cranley takes office — to finance the deal and the $85 million payment the city will receive as a result.
Cranley also promises to make various development projects his top priority, particularly the interchange for Interstate 71 and Martin Luther King Drive. He says he will lobby White House officials to re-appropriate nearly $45 million in federal grant money for the streetcar project to the interchange project, even though the U.S. Department of Transportation told the city in a June 19 letter that it would take back nearly $41 million of its grant money if the streetcar project were canceled.
Cranley vows he will also work with local businesses to leverage public and private dollars to spur investment in Cincinnati's neighborhoods — similar to what the city did with Over-the-Rhine and downtown by working with 3CDC (Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation).
"We want to have some big early wins," Cranley says. "We want to get moving within a year on the Wasson Way bike trail, see significant progress at the old Swifton Commons and see Westwood Square developed."
He adds, "And we intend to reverse the one-trash-can policy, which I think is a horrible policy. … There have been several stories about illegal dumping that have resulted from that."
Cincinnati's pension system and its $862-million-plus unfunded liability also remain a top concern for city officials. Cranley says he will tap Councilman Chris Smitherman to help bring costs in line, but no specifics on a plan were given.
Private prison critics have been proven right once again. Smuggling incidents are on the rise around Lake Erie Correctional Institution, which Ohio sold to the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) in 2011.
In a letter to Gov. John Kasich's northeast Ohio liaison, Conneaut Councilman Neil LaRusch claimed a rise in contraband smuggling has forced local police to increase security around the CCA facility.
Since the end of 2012, four have been arrested and charged with smuggling. Another four were arrested Monday and police suspect they were in Conneaut for a smuggling job. According to the Star Beacon, the four suspects arrested Monday were only caught due to the increased police presence outside the Lake Erie prison.
LaRusch said Conneaut and its police department are already running tight budgets, and they can't afford to continue padding prison security. He then asked the state and governor to help out with the situation.
The letter prompted a reaction from the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio (ACLU), which has staunchly opposed prison privatization in the state. In a statement, Mike Brickner, director of communications and public policy for the ACLU, said, "Unfortunately, this is a predictable pattern with private prisons. Promises of lower costs quickly morph into higher crime, increased burdens on local law enforcement, and in the end, a higher bill for taxpayers."
He added, "This is not an anomaly. It is a predictable pattern. The private prison model is built on profit above all else. These facilities will cut corners and shift responsibility to taxpayers wherever necessary to maximize profits."
The governor's office and Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) could not be immediately reached for comment. This story will be updated if a response becomes available.
Update (5:00 p.m.): Col. John Born, superintendent of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, responded to the councilman's letter. In his own letter, Born doesn't contradict that there's a rise in drug smuggling, but he gives the issue more context.
Born wrote criminal incidents at the Lake Erie prison have actually decreased. He acknowledges drug smuggling cases went up from four in 2011 to seven in 2012, but he says drug cases have gone down at the prison since 2010.
He also claims seven other state prisons have seen a greater rise in drug smuggling. Born frames the issue in a national context: "Unfortunately, despite best efforts, the national problem of illegal drug usage and drug trafficking continues to plague our nation."
Regarding state assistance, Born wrote the Ohio State Highway Patrol does not have the authority to strengthen security in order to directly prevent drug smuggling: "It is important to point out the Ohio State Highway Patrol's legal authority and corresponding duties prior to the sale of the prison and after the sale remain largely unchanged. Ohio troopers did not have original jurisdiction on private property off institution grounds while under state operations nor do they today."
He adds the Ohio State Highway Patrol has already deployed more cruisers at the prison, but he believes local law enforcement are still the best option for responding to incidents.
JoEllen Smith, spokesperson for ODRC, wrote in an email, "DRC will be in communication with the parties involved to ensure any remaining concerns are addressed."
CityBeat previously covered private prisons in-depth ("Liberty for Sale," issue of Sept. 19). Within a week of the story going to stands, ODRC Director Gary Mohr said the state would not privatize any more prisons. On the same day of his announcement, Mohr apparently received an audit that found the CCA facility was only meeting 66.7 percent of state standards ("Prison Privatization Blues," issue of Oct. 10).
Just two days after he proposed the idea, Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding quietly dropped his proposal to tax panhandlers and require them to wear signs stating how much the city contributes to social service agencies on an annual basis. Despite the sudden flip-flop, Berding's idea has inspired a similar concept targeting City Hall.
Cincinnati ranked No. 2 for highest child poverty out of 76 major U.S. cities in 2012, the Children's Defense Fund (CDF) of Ohio said Friday.
The numbers provide a grim reminder that more than half of
Cincinnati's children lived in poverty in 2012, even as the city's urban core began a nationally recognized revitalization period.
With 53.1 percent of children in poverty, Cincinnati
performed better in CDF's ranking than Detroit (59.4 percent) but worse
than Cleveland (52.6 percent), Miami (48 percent) and Toledo (46
percent), which rounded out the top five.
The data, adopted from the U.S. Census Bureau, also shows Ohio's child poverty rate of 23.6 percent exceeded the national rate of 22.6 percent in 2012, despite slight gains over the previous year.
"When three of the top five American cities with the highest rates of child poverty are in Ohio, it is clear that children are not a priority here," said Renuka Mayadev, executive director of CDF of Ohio. "Significant numbers of our children do not meet state academic standards because their basic needs are not being met."
With the contentious streetcar debate over for now, some local leaders are already turning their attention to Cincinnati's disturbing levels of poverty.
Mayor John Cranley on Thursday told reporters that he intends to unveil an anti-poverty initiative next year. A majority of council members also told CityBeat that they will increase human services funding, which goes to agencies that address issues like poverty and homelessness, even as they work to structurally balance the city's operating budget.
Outside City Hall, the Strive Partnership and other education-focused organizations are working to guarantee a quality preschool education to all of Cincinnati's 3- and 4-year-olds. The issue, which will most likely involve a tax hike of some kind, could appear on the 2014 ballot.
More bad news for Secretary of State Jon Husted. The Ohio Supreme Court told Husted his approved ballot language for Issue 2 contains "factual inaccuracies" and must be rewritten by the Ballot Board. Voters First previously contested the language as misleading to voters. If approved by voters, Issue 2 will put an independent citizens commission in charge of redistricting. Under the current system, state officials redraw borders, sometimes using the process for political advantage. In Cincinnati's district, the Republican-controlled process redrew the district to include Warren County, giving the district more rural voters that tend to side with Republicans instead of urban voters that tend to side with Democrats. Voters First mocked the process with a graph showing how redistricting decisions can sometimes be made in 13 minutes with no questions asked. CityBeat covered the redistricting process here when Issue 2 was still in the petition process.
Ohio's median income dropped last year, according to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau. But rates of poverty and uninsured rates remained the same. Nationwide, uninsured rates dropped from 16.3 percent in 2010 to 15.7 percent in 2011, meaning 1.4 million people gained health coverage. Some of that is attributable to health-care reform passed by President Barack Obama.Former University of Cincinnati President Greg Williams is getting a pretty nice going-away present. The Board of Trustees approved a package for Williams that adds up to more than $1.2 million. It includes a bonus, retirement benefits, consulting fees, a year's salary and a contract buyout. Williams abruptly left UC on Aug. 21, citing personal reasons.
Homeless shelters will cost more than expected, says 3CDC. The nonprofit group said it will cost about $40 million to build three homeless shelters and help finance others.
With the support of Democrats and Republicans, the Ohio legislature approved pension reforms yesterday. The reforms lower benefits, raise contributions requirements, increase the retirement eligibility age, establish new cost-of-living guidelines and set a new formula to calculate benefits, all for future retirees. For the most part, current retirees are not affected. Senate President Tom Niehaus, a Republican, said, "We know the changes are not popular, but they are necessary." Before the changes, the system was losing $1 million a day, according to a statement from Rep. Robert Hagan, a Democrat.Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio is pushing against banks that take advantage of college students. In a letter to Higher One, Brown told the bank to rework its contracts with universities. Brown wrote in the letter, "Federal student aid programs should help students prepare for the future, not extract fee income from them." He went on to ask the bank to redo its contracts so they are "consumer-friendly and consistent with reforms that Congress enacted for the credit card market."
Ohio's inspector general found ODJFS wrongly reimbursed organizations in central Ohio with federal stimulus funds when the organizations did not follow rules.
Vice President Joe Biden was in Dayton yesterday. During his speech, he spoke about the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya, which led to the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Biden vowed justice will be served.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney unleashed a big foreign policy gaffe yesterday when he politicized the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya. The attack was revealed to cause the death of Stevens after Romney made his comments.
Math shows homeopathy, a trend in medicine, is implausible.
The City of Cincinnati today released the final draft for its plan to "re-establish (Cincinnati) as a model of a thriving urban city." Plan Cincinnati, which will be taken up in a public hearing on Aug. 30 at 6 p.m., is the first master plan for Cincinnati since 1980.
The primary goal behind the plan is to transition the city away from a model that emphasizes suburban living back to a more urban model. The plan's report justifies the shift by attributing it to a new societal need.
"Dissatisfied, American society is now beginning to reverse the trend (of suburban living) with the hope of returning to an environment that is more economically and environmentally sustainable, less dependent on the automobile, closer in scale to human form, and ultimately, truly more livable," the report says.
The plan will make this transition with six guiding principles: Provide more transportation choices, promote equitable, affordable housing, enhance economic competitiveness, support existing communities, coordinate and leverage federal policies and investment, and value communities and neighborhoods.
The vague principles are outlined in greater detail in the 228-page report, which can be read in full here.
One of the key parts of the plan is its expansion of options for non-automotive travel. The plan promises to focus more work on bicycle paths, support a Bicycle and Pedestrian Program and build links between bicycle systems to allow more cycling through the city. The city will also "design and construct the Ohio River Bike Trail through Cincinnati" and make the city safer for cyclists by making roads smoother and cleaner.
The plan also encourages other transportation programs. Establishing better coordination with Metro buses, building intercity rail systems and integrating the new streetcar into a greater transportation model are a few of the many suggestions in the plan. With these systems, the plan hopes to "facilitate economic development opportunities."
Beyond transportation, the plan also seeks to establish environmentally friendly programs. Some of the suggestions are developing a green construction incentive program, implementing smart grid networks and reforming the LEED tax abatement program to include additional energy efficient rating systems.
However, the plan is missing one important detail: cost. The report says Plan Cincinnati will be reviewed every year using the new Priority-Driven Budgeting process, but no estimates for cost are currently available. Katherine Keough-Jurs, senior city planner, explained why in an email: "That is not something that we provide. We have found over the years that providing cost estimates in long-range plans is problematic and the estimates can be misleading. Also, some of the Action Steps listed are not necessarily things that would have a monetary cost associated."
Some members of city council agreed that the city needs to take a hard look at the way it inspects projects done with taxpayer money, but they took no action during a special joint committee meeting Thursday to discuss allegations that workers were being underpaid at the University Square development in Clifton.
Council members Laure Quinlivan, Cecil Thomas and Wendell Young presented a video investigation they conducted, which included interviews with workers on the project who claim they were being taken advantage of by the University Square developers.
Under Ohio and Cincinnati law, workers on projects funded by taxpayers must be paid a so-called "prevailing wage" (the same as a unionized worker) and be given benefits.
In Cincinnati, that wage is $23.17 an hour for the carpentry work done by the workers interviewed for the video.
The workers in the video claimed they were paid $500 for working a 60-hour week.
"Five-hundred dollars a week to me when you don't have a job, that's a lot," said Garrick Foxx, a construction worker on the project.
"But actually when you average it out, it's not. Like to the hour-wise it's probably like 9-something, so like I could actually make that working at McDonalds."
The University Square developer — a collaboration between Towne Properties and Al. Neyer, Inc. — is building a complex with a parking garage, residential units and retail space.
The City of Cincinnati has $21 million invested in the parking garage. The State of Ohio recently ruled that the prevailing wage provisions apply only workers constructing the garage that the city has money invested in.
Arn Bortz with Towne Properties said the controversy was ginned up by unions and it hasn't been proven that workers are being underpaid.
"All of this was started by the unions themselves because they became very unhappy when the State of Ohio said a sizeable portion of our project was not subject to prevailing wage," Bortz said. "They tried then to discredit and intimidate anyone who is on the other side of the table."
Bortz said he agreed to pay a prevailing wage even to workers who worked on parts of the project not subject to the law. He said he cuts a check to the subcontractors based on that agreement.
"Whether any of those subcontractors might have been unfair to the workers, we do not know," Bortz said. "If they were, they should be made to be fair."
Deputy City Solicitor Aaron Herzig said if the contract required a particular wage be paid and it wasn't, the city can bring a breach of contract action against the developers. But to start an investigation, a complaint must first be made.
The council members asked that their investigation be considered a formal complaint.

Backpacker Magazine – June 2002
Deep in Wyoming's Wind River Range, an accident with a sliding boulder makes a hiker confront his life, his fate, and his faith in God.
Photos by Todd Meier, Mike Turner (inset)
For 10 years, Mike Turner had been the pastor at Boone Memorial Presbyterian Church, a pleasant brown brick building on a quiet, tree-lined street in Caldwell, Idaho. At 6'6", the 48-year-old Turner could, at times, seem larger than life, yet parishioners say they were drawn to his open face and ready smile. They describe him as "an inspirational pastor" who was active in all aspects of his congregation's life. "I had five operations in the last few years," one church member says, "and Pastor Mike was always with me, making the long drive whenever I needed him."
The seemingly opposite joys of both leading a 500-member congregation and witnessing the solitary beauty of wild places peacefully coexisted in Turner's life. "Mike saw God's hand everywhere," his wife, Diane, says, "in church just as much as in the backcountry." Childhood hikes took him deep into the cathedral-like light of the Sierra. He celebrated his ordainment as a minister in 1976 with an 18-day hike in these same Wyoming mountains. The first time he held hands with Diane was in Rocky Mountain National Park; vacations with the kids were hiking trips, and he enjoyed long theological discussions with friends on the trail. "Mike was drawn to the high country," says friend Mark Smith. "It was where he felt closest to God."
So in the summer of 1998, when Turner wanted to cap off a 3-month sabbatical with something that would challenge both his body and his spirit, he naturally looked to the high places. The Wind Rivers rise out of western Wyoming like a crest of waves gone to stone--100 miles long, with 48 peaks above 12,500 feet. They are the highest and wildest mountains in the state. The 60-mile hike Turner planned, much of it off-trail, would begin and end in the 428,169-acre Bridger Wilderness. It would cross the Continental Divide twice, traverse a glacier, top 12,000-foot passes, and take him deep into the 191,103-acre Fitzpatrick Wilderness, one of the most remote places in the lower 48.
He wanted to do it solo. Hiking alone, Turner reasoned, would let him travel at his own pace, linger over his photography, and enjoy some quiet retreat time with God. It was to be the trip of a lifetime. In big letters across the top of his itinerary, he called it his "Wander in Wonder."
On the morning of July 30, 1998, Turner loaded his gear and his dog Andy into his blue Honda Civic. Before he drove off, he gave his wife of 20 years a bouquet of flowers. "Thank you for letting me live this adventure," the card read. "Know wherever I am and whatever I'm doing, I am thinking of you!" With that, Mike Turner walked into the Wyoming wilderness.
Thank you to Jeff for writing this story. It was refreshing to see a mainstream media magazine publish a story that respected a person of deep Christian faith. Kudos to Backpacker for featuring it.
Regina P: "Somehow, female children are raised to think of everyone else before themselves..."
Sure they are. That's why they overwhelmingly
believe they have the right to kill a baby inside her, or even partially born, if he or she interferes in her lifestyle.
Wd did a hike my 9yr son and wife and me in that area but on trails in 1980 and I recall seeing island lake on map. Greart story.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story of faith, love and courage. I too am a pastor and deeply share the solitude of Mike's mountainous spirit. We all will see Jesus soon...it's just like God to bring us home through our favorite places on earth. I'm sure some would say "Mike went to be with Jesus by doing something He loved to do!". In a weird kind of way, that is a blessing. My life has been deeply touched through this story. Thanks for sharing.
Tonight I found the story I read about in 2008 that helped me so much during my chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer that year. I had had a 20yr walk with God prior. I felt so alone and discouraged and had lost all Hope until I read this article I beleive in the Idaho Statesman that year. I just want to say Thank You Rev. for helping me to LIVE. God Bless your family.
Thanks so much for publishing this article. I read it when it appeared in your magazine but misplaced that issue. Too bad ReginaP did not read past page 5 to the end of the article - though I imagine the beauty of the story would still be lost on her.
Well written story on Mr. Turner. He had his faith tested on the rock and it endured when his body gave out.
I love this story, because I love hiking, I love the mountains in Wyoming (even I have never hiked in this particular range), but most of all I love God. Thanks for the story, I will be using it in my sermon today. God is still using the life of Mike Turner, even as Mike now enjoys the immediate presence of God.
Wow regina, hate men much?
I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but whenever I read/hear a story like this all I can think about is the selfishness and arrogance of the one who put himself (and it's almost always a man) before his loved ones, never once considering what impact it would have on them to lose him. I can't even read all the way through because I'm on page 5 and it's making me angry. Somehow, female children are raised to think of everyone else before themselves, while male children are raised to get theirs at any cost. I feel bad for the dog, in any case.
One of the best articles I have ever read.
What an amazing story. Mike Turner sounds like an incredible man of faith, one of the most inspiring parts of the story to me; "as his final hours approached, Turner's body was shutting down; but it was as though his spirit was opening up. All the questions, all the doubt and anger seemed to dissolve like so much morning mist on that unnamed lake. What remained was the unbreakable bedrock of belief." Despite the tremendous pain that he experienced, it is so comforting to know that Mike will spend an eternity in Paradise.
Thank you Jeff for putting the story to paper. Thank you Diane for the courage to share it. Thank you Mike for living it. It being the adventure and your faith. I am in a personal struggle now myself, and these words were an encouragement.
Just an update on the story. Our dog, Andy, lived an amazing life. He was just over a year old when he went on the hike with Mike into the Winds. He was a wonderful companion to Mike and I know provided comfort from Mike's journal. And what a companion he has been for me and our family. Loyal and loving and adventuresome until the end. His body started failing him this spring. I like to think that Andy and Mike met on the trail and continue their adventure.
This story deeply touches me. It could so easily be so many of us who love the solitude of wilderness, mountains, lakes. I too love the Lord and have cried out many times on my journey. My wife's 28 year battle with rheumatoid arthritis and the sorrow and pain that goes with it reminds me some of Mike's struggle.
From reading Mike's journal it is easy to see that his family and planet earth suffered much loss when he left us for heaven.
What heart! What a story! Our prayers and best wishes go out to Mike's family.
I was hiking out from Island Lake on the same day that Mr Turner and his dog were hiking in. I think I remember a hiker and his black dog. I know I said "Hi" to him as we passed on the trail. It's odd to think that I was one of the last people to see the guy alive.

text: Team Basics 10. Team Tools - Brainstorming TEAM BRAINSTORMING TIPS Tips to Enhance the Brainstorming Session Tip #1 - Strive for many ideas. If the group "hits the wall" too early or, in other words, simply runs out of ideas, try a technique called Forced Connections. Ask the group to associate their topic with an unrelated word such as "frog." Or bring along some pictures (for example, a bathtub) and ask the group to associate their topic with this. The brain will always attempt to make an association, spawning new ideas that may kick-start the group to more creativity. Tip #2 - Encourage the group to "get crazy" with their ideas. Allow members to play with the topic ---stretch a little--- to generate even more creative ideas. The general work environment tends to be overly logical, forcing people to operate from the logical part of the brain. Creative brainstorming involves shifting into the more creative parts of the brain, something that may be uncomfortable for some people when at work. Also consider performing an icebreaker exercise prior to the brainstorming to further relax and energize participants.

A southern Illinois town is back on the rails, and it could be a big economic boost.
The city of Herrin is ready to hear the train whistle once again.
Friday, they officially unveiled the first car to hit the rails since 2011.
Last year, the progressive rail company out of Lakeville, Minnesota purchased the Crab Orchard and Egyptian Railway.
With the help of a grant, the company says it's able to rehabilitate the line and resume service.
Developers say the rail cars will bring more than just lumber to the city of Herrin.
"it's an industrial development tool that you haven't had for a couple years," said Jordan Buck, VP of Progressive Rail. "We think that the big benefit to Herrin will end up being jobs."
Progressive Rail Company also operates six other short-line rail systems.

Until I decide what is next for me, I think that today's post will be my last for a while. Initially when I decided to start writing a blog, I kind of had it in my head that I would give it a try for at least 6 months to a year. I am proud to say that I'm just one week shy of my one year anniversary!
I'm proud that I stepped outside of my box and gave it a try, it has been a great learning experience for me both personally and on the technology side of things.
I owe my home office, some painted furniture, a closet re-do and some fun crafts to my blog!
For now though, I'm finding that I cannot devote the time that is needed to continue creating and delivering the blog that I had originally envisioned.
Before I completely check "having a blog" off my bucket list, I'm going to take some time to think about a different approach. I was thinking of possibly doing a monthly newsletter type blog which would combine all of the things that I like to chat about in one monthly post.
Whatever decision I come to, I'm so happy for the decision that I did make to get my first post out there (and that you where there on the other end to enjoy it!)
Hearing from readers is huge, I'm so grateful for the nice comments and feedback that I have received in the past and would especially welcome your thoughts and suggestions on this one!
For now……. have a beautiful day!
