[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the former mayor of a midsized Indiana town, who couldn’t even keep the potholes manageable, is onboard with turning the federal interstate highway system into a pedestrian mall.

This. Is. Awesome. [/quote]

That's not what he said at all.

He said that roadways should be designed with all users in mind. He might be talking about safer crossing for pedestrians including wheelchair users, or bike lanes, or improved access for public transportation, or opening up sections of roads for pedestrian and bicycle use the way part of Rock Creek Parkway is used.

He didn't say "interstate highway".  He didn't say we would all be using them in the same way.  [/quote]

He needs to stay in his lane (pun intended)

The Sec of Trans job is to focus on interstate and strategic transportation nodes. Highways. Railroads. Aviation. Ports and waterways. Pipelines.

Not making sure every ‘burg in the country has bike lanes.  :roll: [/quote]

The job of the Secretary of Tranportation is to focus on [b]transportation[/b]. Which includes

-walking
-rolling (e.g., in wheelchairs)
-bicycling[/quote]

Translation: “our national transportation infrastructure will start deteriorating again (after a four year respite under Trump) and our national highways, bridges, railroads and air and sea ports will start failing as the focus of the DOT becomes painting bike lanes on neighborhood streets.
