Suburban side streets are fine, but even with my limited experience of
living and visiting the burbs, the main thoroughfares are entirely auto
oriented, with wide-fast-moving lanes and intersections that leave no safe
times for pedestrians or bikes to cross.
That goes for my sister's community, which has lots of sidewalks, but
crossing streets is challenging. It goes for local high schools very near
DC, where there are sidewalks and transit buses, but the signals are timed
with insufficient time for even young students to cross.
When I lived in a NY suburb for two years, I would walk three blocks out of
the way to my local Starbucks (my then two year old liked to share a decaf
latte with me) because the intersection of two big streets was so unsafe to
cross. (That daughter is now almost done with college, she never got hooked
on caffeine, she bikes, and she gripes about Chicago's "backward and slow"
transit, compared to NY and DC. I love my transit-savvy kids.)
When I use the word suburb, I am talking about typical suburbs, not Takoma
Park, Evanston, Cambridge, or the like.

I thought this was the TRB group. Confused.
Yes, it is good to discuss the whole aging aspect of healthy communities
and what it takes to make older people feel comfortable to bike and walk.
Many live in suburbs where it is not safe to cross major streets and where
biking options are not attractive. There is a good bikeshare program in San
Jose, I think, where seniors can borrow what are basically cargo tricycles.
Here's the link again.

Thanks Sheryl. Can you share this with the TRB
Health and Transport
group.
Also, there needs to be some review of this issue for those who are
fostering aging friendly communities as well as those encouraging older
people to bike. Maybe there is a need for some discussion of this at TRB.
