Brown Urban Mobility Project

Simple street transformations that work.

Rush hour on South Water @PVDMayor won’t do a traffic study because he knows the data does not support adding an extra lane to this street.

@bumproject @sucely_murillo @PVDMayor Is there a public schedule of PVD bike jams? @_holyspokes @JohnMarionjr

We LOVE you PVD Bike Jam! How’s this for some “under-utilised” bike lanes, Mr Mayor????? @PVDMayor Count the number of bikes on this video, this is how many votes you are losing for removing the South Water bike lane!

Dedicated and protected bike infrastructure 😍

So this happened recently…

@RINewsToday the purpose of daylighting is to discourage cars from parking too close to crosswalks and to increase pedestrian visibility and safety, besides making our streets look good

@bumproject And what is that?

Thanks to the construction team that saw us making the streets cooler and safer and put some bollards out there to protect us!

Flags? Make them bricks, we say.

Yesterday afternoon, emergency services were called to a building on Clifford Street. We observed a fire truck drive up the bike lane because of car traffic and the ambulance. Great example of how two-way urban trails can improve emergency response, not prevent it.

@RINewsToday they don’t have to instinctively know what it is to unconsciously be influenced by it

@bumproject do you think people instinctively know what it means?

@samdisaproves love you too!

BUMP’s up to some FISHY things! 🎨🐟

We’re live from the corners of Benefit and College Streets with our last painting session this semestre!

S. Water St is being presented at a @MassDOT innovation conference as an example of a Self-Enforcing Roadway - a street where design changes have reduced the need for police enforcement because of physical traffic calming. @PVDMayor's plan would undo this and move us backwards.

Last chance to join a BUMP painting session this academic year is TOMORROW at 2pm 🥹🎨🥹🎨🥹🎨 Meet us at the Urban Environmental Lab to get your hands dirty and have some fun!

Young children riding bikes on the South Water Street urban trail. Let’s design streets that are family friendly and encourage kids to get outside and be active.

Cute little BUMP dinner last night 🥹

Providence deserves a mayor who believes in creating a riverfront that’s worth traveling *to* rather than one that’s as easy as possible to drive *through*

⚠️TONIGHT! Show up and support safe streets infrastructure!! 🏛️PVD City Hall 🎤5:30pm Press Conference by @JohnGPVD 🗣️6:00pm Council meeting (ordinance is item 16) Send your message now ➡️secure.everyaction.com/WXRsitTmz0ufYY…

Go to South Water Street right now and you’ll find families, dogs, ice cream, and rollerblades. What you won’t find is a traffic jam. This is what it looks like when a public space works and is valued by the community. Providence needs more of these spaces, not one fewer.
