KSHB: Advocacy group applauds proposed bill that would decriminalize biking, walking

More deets with relevant parts highlighted . . .

Code 70-268 requires wheels and tires to be clean, 70-706 allows the inspection of bicycles relating to traffic and vehicles, and 70-783 relates to "jaywalking."

According to authors of the proposed bill, the three existing city codes don't make people safer and expose citizens to unnecessary interactions with law enforcement. Bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization, BikeWalkKC supports the bill and said it will help decriminalize biking and walking in the city.

Another observation during discussion from a lesser blog . . .

"Mayor's general legal counsel Jane Brown told a City Council committee that Black people received 65% of jaywalking tickets issued between 2018 and 2020. Councilmembers Katheryn Shields and Kevin O'Neill supported eliminating jaywalking offenses."

To be fair, I didn't know people still got tickets for jaywalking.

Nevertheless, as the chip crisis shuts down auto manufactures and people are clamoring to buy used cars. 12th & Oak protects alternative modes of transit along with activist pet causes.

  1. Jaywalking problem in KC? Really.

    That's our biggest problem? I would hope so but it's doubtful.

  2. If we have police writing tickets for jaywalking then we have a big problem on the police department.

  3. Only women with nice asses should be able to bike in the shiny shorts

  4. Shit. Cops don't stop you for jaywalking. They barely investigate property crime. They are busy with violent stuff like the NPR lady getting killed.

  5. Fits in with black people being the perps of at least 65% of total crimes committed, so what’s your fucking point, Quinton?

  6. Mayor McDrinkerson shouldn't be coming up with this stuff when he's been drinking. How about the record murders and infrastructure in the town you're pretending to govern, professor?

    ReplyDelete
  7. So based on his way of thinking, we should stop arresting murderers because most of them are black?

  8. Jaywalking is how people avoid walking past the urban youth types.

  9. It would make more sense if blacks just quit breaking the law.

  10. Where was this biking-walking advocacy group when kcmo was vacating Woodland at indep ave, ? Seriously. That was a major way peds and bikes accessed northeast area. Woodland was even labeled a “bike lane”. They didn’t just close it to cars. Wtf was the “advocacy “group doing then? This is meaningless stupidity by contrast

  11. Why don't we build some subterranean walk/bike paths just for blacks? That way everyone else can feel a lot safer and the blacks will be happy they got more special treatment. Win/win.

  12. If there's problem with folks obeying the law, just do away with the law.... problem solved.

  13. I don't like that law about assassinating political leaders. Let's get rid of that one!

  14. So Jane Brown, pretty simple have the black people that you are so concerned about stay within the crosswalks and they wouldn't get a ticket.

    But like the rest of your liberal buds you want to eliminate the crime because people won't stop doing it...just like weed, just like traffic stops

  15. You guys better shut up and take responsibility for your "White Privilege".

    You white privilege is what drove this poor black man to attack an Asian father with his one year old toddler just yesterday. The black man had just been released from jail with no bail or bond needed. Slavery...

  16. If Black Lives don’t matter and if LGBTQ lives don’t matter, then bike lives sure as fuck don’t either. Funny as hell, though.

  17. Jaywalking as an "issue"?
    Really?
    And you have to wonder if Lucas will ever run out of laws he doesn't want enforced because a certain group of people don't want to obey them even if others are threatened or harmed.
    This clown will do pretty much anything to avoid or ignore his actual responsibilities which are to at least try to represent ALL the residents of KCMO.
    What a sad childish mess KCMO is in the process of becoming.

  18. Of course Lucas is pushing back against police he loves lawlessness and he doesn't want any of his thugs to get stopped when they are burning looting or murdering. The guy is racist and hates white people just look at the city and what it has become. The black people are racist and are gaslighting to make it look like you are the racist one.

  19. How come we never hear anything about Mayor McDrinkerson's illegitimate son and new white wife? Supposedly they're looking for a new home and have to take care of a newborn, so I'd like to know how he has so much time to spend on his Twitter and FB accounts posting inane and juvenile bullshit all day, pretending like he's working?

  20. ^^Because we don't care Boomer! We have lives. You don't. That's why.

  21. ^and your sad life is responding to your master on a blog for dying geriatrics in lieu of any meaningful or productive existence. Super sad.

  22. Mayor McDrinkerson's signature accomplishment is legalizing jaywalking because black people can't be bothered to use crosswalks while the city he is supposedly running is at the top of the list for being one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. Brilliant.

  23. ^and your signature accomplishment is posting on here all day. he wins!

  25. The woke City Council is sure that white people are jaywalking constantly but the cops are only going to arrest one of those rare black jaywalkers.

    The woke City Council are idiots.

    Statistics show that blacks are arrested for robbery and murder way out of proportion to their percentage of the population. Therefore, the City Council should demand that the state decriminalize robbery and murder.

  26. BLACKS GAYS WOMEN AND LIBERALS RUIN EVERTHING AM I RIGHT OR WHAT WHY CANT EVERYONE BE LIKE US OLD LONELY AND HUNGRY WHERE'S MY OATMEAL DAMN IT

  27. Jaywalking tickets are what they give to the Amish utes out selling their hand-made wares on the plaza, loitering lazily in the middle of the street blocking traffic. Pretty much every major shopping area has this crossing or blocking of streets by the ware selling amish utes. I'm actually surprised the percentage isn't higher than 65.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I’ve rarely seen white folk saunter across the middle of the street, forcing traffic to stop. I’ve seen plenty of black folks do it.

  29. Look at the price of real estate increases with tax breaks and you'll see a line run parallel with murder in the Kansas City Metro
