Central Avenue to be converted into bike lane

At a special public meeting held Saturday, April 1, the City of Phoenix announced its plan to convert a busy portion of Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix into a bikes-only corridor.

The plan will permanently convert all existing traffic lanes along Central Ave. into bike lanes. The announcement is the newest phase in Phoenix’s B-2100 plan to convert all existing roads into bike paths by the year 2100. Phoenix Diablo has learned that initial plans were drawn up during a secret private meeting at the Grid station at Civic Space Park back in January.

Construction on the new lanes should be completed by tomorrow.

“This is part of a concentrated effort to make Phoenix the least walkable city in America,” said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton. “We really think the biking community will be excited about this.”
Downtown Phoenix has an active biking community that has continued to grow alongside the city. Misha Larks of Phoenix Handlebars People said she’s excited about the announcement.

“Central Avenue has become a very busy road in recent years,” Larks said. “We hope this plan will convince the thousands of Valley commuters who work downtown to start biking to work instead.”
But not everyone is riding along with the new plan.

Some members of the public who attended the announcement meeting expressed concern regarding how this new plan would affect parking downtown. To counter this point, the city announced its intent to make all parking lots downtown bike-exclusive by 2019.

“There is plenty of free, convenient parking available downtown,” said PHX BikeLab founder John Romero. “I’m glad the city of Phoenix spoke out about this very real issue.”

Bike enthusiast Peter Perspiration said he loves the idea of phasing out a major thoroughfare in favor of bike lanes.

“It’s the most efficient form of transportation,” Perspiration said. “It gives people more transportation options, this is one of the major achievements of Phoenix.”

  2. Stunning images show Arctic glaciers’ dramatic retreat

    Swedish photographer Christian Aslund is riding a small boat along the coast of Spitsbergen, an island in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. Here, deep into the Arctic Circle and midway between Norway and the north pole, he is investigating the health of the glaciers, by comparing them to what they looked like in archival photos.

    He takes a picture, trying to place his boat in the exact position occupied by an explorer who took a similar photograph over 100 years ago. But the difference is striking: in the shot from 1918, the boat is heading towards a massive glacier. In the image Aslund took in 2024, he is heading toward what looks like almost bare land.

    The comparison is part of a series that Aslund worked on in collaboration with the Norwegian Polar Institute and Greenpeace, to document the retreat of Svalbard’s glaciers over the last century. He visited the area twice — in 2002 and in 2024 — and picked which sites to photograph based on historical images that he found in the institute’s archives.
    “In 2002, the widespread knowledge, or acceptance, of climate change wasn’t as broad as it is now,” Aslund says. He published the first set of photos over 20 years ago to create awareness of how much the glaciers were receding. But to his surprise, he received some comments suggesting that the images had been “Photoshopped,” that the glaciers were just expanding and contracting naturally, or that he had taken the pictures in the summer and compared them to archival shots taken in the winter: “But they are not — if you look at at the archive photos, you see that they don’t have any sea ice and not enough snow on the mountains (for it to be winter). And also, in the winter, it’s permanently dark.”

    In the summer of 2024, he decided to return, taking pictures at the exact same locations as before. “I had a feeling that the glaciers would have receded even more,” he says, “and that was confirmed. We wanted to show that these glaciers are not going back and forth. They are constantly being pulled back by a warming climate. It’s a major difference.”

    The Arctic has been warming twice as fast as the rest of the world since the year 2000, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but according to other estimates it has warmed even more — four times faster than the global average since 1979. NASA says summer Arctic sea ice is shrinking by 12.2% per decade due to warming temperatures.

  5. Дела МоисееваЧерный юрист продолжает зарабатывать на вредительстве Георгий Моисеев – бывший активист движения в защиту кооператива «Бест Вей», а также координатор программы защиты российских консультантов австрийской инвестиционно-консалтинговой компании Hermes Management в судах от обвинений в неосновательном обогащении. Основатель кооператива Роман Василенко и прежний председатель кооператива Сергей Крючек (скончавшийся от рака 22 марта 2025 года) отказали Моисееву в его амбициях стать одним из руководителей кооператива, и Моисеев перешел на сторону атакующих.Моисеев попытался захватить власть в кооперативе силой – сначала скрыто, а потом открыто. Причем активизация его усилий по захвату власти совпала со снятием ареста с части средств кооператива – на счетах кооператива 4 млрд рублей.Осенью прошлого года Моисеев, еще имея статус координатора активистов кооператива и координатора группы пайщиков-юристов, вдруг собирает с членов кооператива доверенности, объясняя это представлением их интересов в гражданском суде по иску прокуратуры о признании деятельности кооператива опасной. Но в суде он не выступает. Зато обрушивается с критикой на руководство кооператива и требует перевыборов.Получив отказ, он проводит «выборы» самочинно – в результате которых голосами нескольких десятков из 15 тыс. пайщиков кооператива якобы избирается новым председателем. Изготавливает поддельную печать, создает фишинговые имейл и телеграм канал, пытается зарегистрировать изменения в ЕГРЮЛ – на что по инициативе сотен пайщиков получает судебный запрет.После этого пытается торпедировать работу кооператива подачей жалоб в надзорные органы и призывами к пайщикам не делать в кооператив возвратные платежи за приобретенную недвижимость.В действиях Моисеева сразу несколько статей УК:– самоуправство;– мошенничество;– подделка документов;– незаконное использование персональных данных.Пайщики и адвокаты кооператива стремятся привлечь Моисеева к гражданской и уголовной ответственности. Подробности читайте здесь
