[quote=Anonymous]I firmly believe that the best action the leadership of this city could make is to take every road that is greater than 4 total lanes and expand the sidewalks to consume the additional lanes, leaving us with a mix of 1-lane, 2-lane, 3-lane, and 4-lane only roads on the city streets and grander pedestrian areas. The area businesses and residents can then apply to use that extra space as needed - off street bike paths like in Navy Yard or cafe seating, or public micro-park/garden space like along upper and lower Conn Ave. Motorists have for too long gotten their way and its literally killing the residents here. Whether directly because pedestrian deaths by motor vehicle are up like 80% from their recent low in 2005 and nearing the high-water mark since the late 1970's/early 1980's, or indirectly from the constant pollution. Take a bus or metro. Or sit in traffic if you want. But goddamn we have to stop catering hand over fist to these destructive forces.[/quote]
