We need more downtowns like that.
Cars shouldn't be able to break 25 mph in city limits.
Let's increase the pollution of the city by making cars idle!
Roads that are safer for pedestrians and cyclists get more people out of their cars. Longer car commute times make people consider alternatives such as public transit, walking, or biking. Every additional person who isn’t in their car has an exponential decrease in automobile congestion. This is all relatively well understood within urban planning and traffic engineering.
I feel like someone neglected to tell this to every American urban planner then
Politics and money quite often make the decision, not sound urban planning.
In the long term, this won't be an issue, since EVs don't idle.
I'm still waiting for the day EV's will be reasonable for people who don't own a home that they can charge their vehicle at. It's a humongous population and people don't seem to have great ideas to incentivize people to tackle the problem.
Yeah, there definitely needs to be more incentives for apartment owners and condo managers to install Level-1 and Level-2 changers in tenant parking spots. The question is how to fund it, of course. Perhaps some sort of increased petrol tax could help accelerate the implementation of EV infrastructure?
If it's inconvenient enough people simply won't drive.
Which is the goal.
