2005
Time's Up! started the Street Memorial Project beginning in 1996. This project commemorated cyclists and pedestrians killed by motorists while simultaneously bringing awareness to how unsafe local infrastructure in the city actually is. Also in 2005, Time's Up teamed up with Visual Resistance to begin the white Ghost Bike Project. "Ghost Bikes are small and somber memorials for bicyclists who are killed or hit on the street. A bicycle is painted all white and locked to a street sign near the crash site, accompanied by a small plaque. They serve as reminders of the tragedy that took place on an otherwise anonymous street corner, and as quiet statements in support of cyclists' right to safe travel."
