what this says is if you removed the bike lanes and banned bikes from roads it would improve traffic flow even more.

I want NYC to pull the trigger and start making bus/bike only roads. they're toying with it for the L train closure on 14th St and the only other place is Fulton mall in Brooklyn, which is cool

One thing that often annoys me are those lovely little patches or verges of bushes that people build to pretend the new development is green or something. They're a waste of space and I variably look like poo poo. would make way more space to consolidate all that land into a park elsewhere instead

This is why when you park at a store or someplace recently built, you can choose to dodge cars in a hazardous concrete wasteland or walk through rocky outposts of decorative thorn bushes. It's a cruel joke played on suburban shoppers by civil engineers.

Like any newly built public space, parking lots are actively hostile to pedestrians, despite the fact that their purpose is to convert cars to pedestrians.

JewKiller 3000 posted:i live in the bay area (redwood city) and i ride my bicycle to work every day. i happen to also work in redwood city, and i ride just over a mile, so i could walk, i'm just lazy. but i could reasonably commute by bike south to palo alto or north to san mateo. there are more tech jobs between rwc and either of these locations than exist in the entire state of maine. combined with caltrain (free gopass from employer ofc) i could go anywhere on the peninsula where a job might be, without any need for a car The span from San Mateo to Palo Alto has 26% of Maine's population

i grew up in maine in an area completely devoid of public transportation of any kind. no buses, no trains, only a single taxi car that you had to call in advance, but instead of shaggaring it up i loved public transit as soon as i lived in a place that had it

idk about trolleys, but modern streetcars/lrt are pretty nice. they don't bounce around like buses and they hold 2x the number of people per vehicle than even the larger articulated buses assuming you don't buy them from bombardier
