[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slow streets just seems selfish. It doesn’t change the total amount of traffic. It just forces more traffic onto neighboring streets so people on the chosen streets get less. What does that accomplish?[/quote] It establishes places that everyone in the neighborhood can engage in outdoor recreation. It's not like they're limited to people who live on those blocks. People on the streets where traffic is (hypothetically) increased can still use the Slow Streets; they're open to the public provided you're not driving. That's even assuming that traffic is increased. Traffic levels were down at the beginning of the pandemic. I know they're come back in some places, but I don't see as much traffic as I'm used to. Also as someone whose commute is impacted by Slow Streets, it's moved me from cutting through a short stretch of residential street onto a larger street that can handle the traffic better.[/quote]
