tiny highways for engine-less vehicles altho now with the rise of electric-assist bikes, even the health benefits of biking are on the way out
I've said before--the whole point of promoting walking and biking, in my mind, had been that those modes *do not require their own dedicated infrastructure* as bike paths turn more and more into highways-in-miniature, this appeal disappears
Think you mean: if the roads are overengineered, encouraging cars to drive recklessly Presence of cars alone is no obstacle to biking! Get the road right, and you can mix modes on it w/o issuepic.twitter.com/kFDrjSMlKH
Sure. I have no problem with shared streets but given our standard street designs are suited for 40 MPH traffic roads become human-free zones.
It's funny because we really forgot how to build human scaled streets in the middle of the 20th century. Compare the 30' curb-curb 1940's vintage part of the street I live on with the 1950's 40' curb-curb part of the street. That 10' makes a huge difference!pic.twitter.com/CIbi8ycPY7
