ADDISON, TX: A PopUp "Protected" Bike Lane Pilot Project Profile (Tactical Urbanism Innovation)

This past Saturday, I made a road trip up to the town of Addison, Texas, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, to profile this very creative "protected" bike land and roundabout pilot project installation. Area residents and visitors are encouraged to ride the facility during the PopUp and provide their feedback via this link: https://bit.ly/addisonbikelane

Background:
Hi Everyone! My name is John Simmerman, and I’m a health promotion and public health professional with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization in how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.

Since 2010, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be while striving to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."

The Active Towns Channel features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.

Thanks once again for tuning in! I hope you find this content helpful and insightful.
