[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buses make sense but I would personally like to see smaller ones - preferably automated - that do designated routes through the city. Bikes don’t make sense in the city [b]bc the city was not set up to accommodate.[/b] Shoe horning them in now doesn’t work bc it makes no sense and is a waste of resources. We keep trying to pretend the DMV can be changed into a non car based society. It can’t. To do that you would have to tear it all down and start over and that can’t happen. [/quote] The bolded is a political choice, and actually, paved streets were created for bikes, long before there were cars (and yes of course, there are cobblestone roads that predate paving, but those are generally not bike friendly) It is easy to make a city accommodate bikes, except with NIMBYs oppose it at every turn.[/quote]
