#102. Rethinking Mobility From Car Culture to Community Care | Colin Fiske || @ScottHammond.

What if the safest street is also the one that moves the most people—with the least stress?

That’s the central question in this episode of the 100% Humboldt Podcast, as host Scott Hammond sits down with Colin Fiske, Executive Director of CRTP, to explore how Humboldt County can move beyond car-only thinking and design streets that truly serve the way we live.

From Arcata’s trail connections to Eureka’s most dangerous corridors, this conversation connects policy, culture, and street design into a practical, local roadmap for safer, more livable communities.

What This Episode Covers

We start with what’s working:

The Annie and Mary Trail linking Cal Poly Humboldt to Arcata

Momentum behind the Bay Trail

The long-term promise of the Great Redwood Trail from Eureka to College of the Redwoods

Then we dig into systems thinking:

Why protected bike lanes reduce car crashes, not just help cyclists

How real bike boulevards calm traffic so families feel safe

What walk audits reveal about injury hotspots on Fourth, Fifth, and Broadway

Why adding lanes doesn’t fix congestion (induced demand)

How traffic evaporation makes road diets and roundabouts work

We also explore the cultural side:

Motonormativity and why cars get a moral pass

Why helmets help—but street design prevents crashes

How fast arterials disproportionately harm kids, elders, and low-income neighbors

And finally, what actually moves change:

Closer homes, jobs, and services

Downtown housing over transit centers

Quick-build pilots using paint and posts to test ideas fast

A connected network so no trip requires braving a hostile block

If you care about safer crossings, reliable buses, protected lanes, and lively downtowns, this episode offers concrete steps and local examples you can act on today.

Listen, share with a neighbor, and tell us:
Which street should get a road diet or protected lane next?
