[quote=Anonymous]Yes, the bike crowd and certainly the turn the streets over to the pedestrians crowd in DC will eat this up. He is speaking to a very small but very vocal group of people (very wealthy by the way).

Anyway, this is all part of the first steps towards limiting vehicle access to urban areas.

It will start with banning ICE vehicles. (Nothing to do with EV's by the way, just a step that everybody agrees with and does not see the slippery slope ahead.)

Then it will move to congestion charging.

Then it will move to an EV plate system where you get access on even or odd days.

Finally it will be emergency vehicles only in the urban centers.

It all sounds great and it is great if you are rich and don't have to commute to a job. But then we never really take second or third order effects into consideration.

So instead, let's focus on making roads more accessible to wheelchairs (deliberate focus by the way because you have the force of law behind you) and high speed rail systems which he is also in love with and will never work. He will have a tenure worth remembering, that is for sure.[/quote]
