WABA awards and forgotten speeches

Slightly blurry selfie with my “award nominee” badge and a beer

8 years ago today, WABA gave me an award for whining on X (Formerly known as Twitter). I shared the award with the DDOT Public Space team, largely who I was whining to/about.

Facebook comment from Laurie Lemieux - Congratulations! This was my favorite award of the night (well, except for best bike shop). Your speech was priceless!

I gave a great speech, apparently. I have no recollection of this speech. My wife does not believe I gave one.

Unfortunately, we haven’t really progressed from there in terms of protecting bike lanes. DDOT still does not provide Safe Accommodations when cyclist and/or pedestrian infrastructure needs to be blocked for construction, despite the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Amendment Act of 2016 telling them to do so.

Oh, well. Maybe in another ten years.
