And it’s infuriating that we are planning highly disruptive and expensive road widening projects, when investments in public transportation and active transportation could remove the “need” to widen roads!

Car-centric infrastructure is not sustainable, and every time I hear people moan and bitch about taxes, they should know that it’s largely due to runaway road work and maintenance costs!

NOTE: the far left lable on the bottom chart is “less than 15 minutes.” Factor in several minutes for stop signs and red lights, WHY THE HELL DRIVE AT ALL? 😡

    Ding ding ding! Montreal is the closest to true European city design.

    Montreal actually has proper street vs road differentiation where they don’t actually try and turn everything into a strode.
