The East Coast Greenway (or ECG) spans 3,000 miles, whisking hikers and bikers through the brick mills of Rhode Island, the urban waterfronts of New York City and the wetlands of North Carolina. It’s one of the most ambitious projects of its kind in the U.S. and hosts an estimated 50 million visits per year, making it one of the most popular routes in the world.

While its most beloved segments are secluded and separated from motorized traffic, as much as 65% of the ECG involves interacting with cars and trucks that are moving at high speeds. Most of the time, that looks like cycling on the shoulder of a highway. In some cases, it looks like the intersection where The Biking Fireman stood.

There’s nothing more than a painted crosswalk to demarcate a major trail crossing on the boulevard. No overhead lights, no eye-catching warning and, most tellingly, nothing in the design of the roadway to compel drivers to slow down. The posted speed limit is 25 mph, but locals laugh at the suggestion that vehicles travel that slowly. It’s a raceway, and at the high speeds observed, drivers have little time to react to the sudden incursion of a trail user. And trail users, no matter how vigilant and swift, run the risk of not being seen in time by someone driving in one of the four available lanes.

Stewards of the ECG understand how dangerous these parts of the trail are, which is why they install police officers at high-traffic intersections during organized rides, like the New York-to-Philadelphia Greenway Ride. They even refer to the segments that put trail users and cars in the same lane as “high-stress segments”:

Currently, our interim route in South Carolina and Georgia, includes a great deal of high-stress, on-road segments, predominantly…

“Whose Land Do You Live On?” Reminds Americans Colonization Happened in Their Backyards

First Peoples populated America long before Europeans arrived to stake their claim. We have largely forgotten this legacy. A mapping tool is looking to change that

By Krystal D’Costa

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American

As Christopher Columbus falls farther out of favor, the discourse has shifted to emphasize the voices that his story has silenced. This is particularly important as the United States grapples with defining what it means to be American. This identity is being wielded as a weapon within immigration politics. There are countless stories of widespread harassment in public spaces of people viewed as non-Native born Americans. On the edges of this, First Peoples have presented reminders that the Americas were populated prior to the arrival of Europeans and if anyone has a claim to being “American,” it is them. To this end, several instances of a reminder to know whose Native land you currently reside on was circulated on social media on Indigenous People’s Day—and a crowd-influenced mapping tool exists to help with this assessment, and prompt awareness and self-reflection. 

Every day I travel into Lenape territory. I doubt they would recognize it today. In 1609 when Henry Hudson sailed into New York harbor, the island of Manhattan was a thriving natural ecosystem. Hudson documented chestnut, oak, and hickory trees as well as salt marshes populated by turkey, elk, black bears, and beavers. The Collect Pond, which was covered over at the present-day Foley Square, provided fresh water to Lenape villagers before the Dutch and English assumed control and eventually polluted the pond beyond use by building a tannery on its shores. Times Square…
