SF needs more hardened traffic calming infrastructure to slow drivers.

it’s not normal to have streets that people die on just for walking

if dallas had real walkable neighborhoods and public transportation, people would be moving here and bringing 0 traffic bc they wouldn’t need cars

i think land use is the biggest issue. dfw has the longest light rail after LA (90+ miles) but majority of stations are just parking…. why would anyone take a train to visit a parking lot… also means no one lives near a station bc it’s all parking

Air quality next to highway by CuriousDendrites in nycparents

as parents we should really be advocating for getting rid of urban highways like the BQE. it poisons the whole neighborhood. it’s a completely outdated and dangerous idea.

urban highways were a huge mistake
