[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We aren't an urban area. We are a suburb. That's how the City was set up with the exception of Old Town. [/quote] Aside from Old Town, Del Ray, although less dense, is urban in form. Carlisle was built as an urban area, and PY will be as well. Arlandria is semi-urban. Much of the West End, though not urban in layout, is very dense, and to be liveable at all needs to become more urban in form, and will. That still leaves a bunch of suburban enclaves, which will remain suburban, but we can't run the whole city as a suburb. BTW, I checked the traffic on google maps this AM, while riding the bus (you know, the one you can't ride). Green everywhere, except for for the highways leading to DC, and Quaker leading to the King intersection. Despite the density, traffic flows fine. Fact is we are a City with many people using transit, some walking and biking, and many or most drivers having uncongested routes. [/quote]
