Before/after analysis of separated bike and ped facilities consistently show safety benefits and increases in number of people walking and bicycling... maybe near Braddock Rd Metro in #AlexandriaVA soon!
DDOT continues to publish before/after analyses of safety projects. The numbers for the 9th street NW bike lanes suggest that we should be doing these projects everywhere we can. Crashes plummeted, pedestrian and bike traffic skyrocketed, and vehicle travel times dropped.

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut already happened, so I think I have to go with Star Wars IX: Duel of the Fates which has probably been said by 300 others
