compaigns, where biking is legitimized, and the infrastructure and other great programs here at the m.t.a. meanwhile, when people do something disrespectful or dangerous, they are given a cost, whether it be a ticket or something more. >> and really quickly to address the bicycle licensing issue. the trick is we don't have the authority to license bicyclists. we can license their bicycles, and that has been done in davis, but the administrative costs outweighs the benefit. but having said that, we have to do something about it. and i think that the best enforcement compaigns -- right now it happens on a complaint-driven basis an at the discretion of the local stations. if we want to do something that has a big impact, we need to do something that is very public, that is coherent, that looks like -- we actually create a memo every year where we think bicycle infractions ought to be enforced. i think it should be paired with the carrot. so the stick and the carrot are both sort of right there in people's consciousness. i will say -- i've heard from people that new bicyclists out on the road

we're out with the police department, with the m.t.a., not just giving out lights, but installing them. we don't let you ride away with light in hand. we install it on your bicycle. we hope to do a lot more in spanish and cantonese language. we're hiring at the bicycling coalition for a spanish-speaking community organizer. we would be excited to have someone on staff who can lead our work in spanish. we want to knowledge there were challenges. if it were all light and easy, you probably wouldn't invited me to speak and talk about the challenges. we have reality challenges and image challenges. i think they're very much related, obvious. i'm highlighting here, and we have copies of the san francisco bicycle coalition where we publicly and directly talk about this. what are the realities? what are the persceptions? and what are the perceptions on the street about people who walk, about people who walk, >> president chiu: the ethics commission will have opportunity to make a presentation of up to 10 minutes explaining its recommendation. after that the mayor will have opportunity to pres

now kurt kroncke with the m.t.a. >> no delays on the penn, camden or marc trains. a delay on the 13 bus and 21 bus diverting at preston and cathedral. 2733, 91 buses diverting and not going into the rogers metro station. when you're away from your radio and bus station, updates are available on demand 5-9:00 at 40-500-4444. with the m.t.a. transit team i'm kurt kroncke. now back to tony pann. >> skies are basically clear. the high pressure that's been giving us the great weather is sliding off the coast and we have a series of little fronts that will come through over the next 24 hours. the first one comes through the ohio valley and great lakes. with these coming through, there's a chance we could get a little bit of rain tonight and early tomorrow morning. most of you won't see any rain at all but mostly computer models shows us precipitation. we will put a 30% chance in for some rain tonight and early tomorrow morning. most of the weekend is going to be just fine. right now you can see the high, thin clouds moving out ahead of that system. so the skies won't be

i would like to see the police department and the m.t.a. efforts focused on these locations. i would like to see you all coming back on an annual basis reporting, and letting them know how it goes. we know these are problem intersections, might will be a problem with the makeup of the street? possibly see. i'd love to see a report that actually comes back and shows you progress. just like the state of cycling, we don't know if we're doing better unless we track it and unless there is transparency there. in conclusion, i want to bring it back to some points made in selita's presentation. there is a lot we can do. education, enforcement, marketing or promotion, but the leading cause of behavior change when it comes to biking, and that means encouraging more people to bike, and encouraging more people to bike safely and respectfully. the leading change is infrastructure. it is making safer streets. we know from various studies, from berkeley to new york city to copenhagen, there is a far greater reduction in poor behavior when you're creating physically separated bike ways, far
