Road Diversity
Somewhere between the almost weightless flow of a body on a bike and a couple of tons of car plastic and steel there lays a need for road equality. This will help to prevent vehicular manslaughter among our daring first riders and it begins to produce the wiggle room between these conflicting modes for a much broader range of personal mobility vehicles.
Provide examples of safe and convenient walking and bicycling facilities into transportation projects based on the density of the population (any boundary).
Improving conditions and opportunities for walking and bicycling by integrate walking and bicycling into transportation systems should produce individual and community benefits in health, safety, environmental, transportation, and quality of life. The following links introduce the top down encouragements, perhaps this HPV/PUMA discussion can bring added life to the vitality of your city.
