Good public transportation, bike lanes, and all with walkability in mind, I wish
if your in the states chicago has that. City is on a grid system and up to two transfers between bus and trains are free not to mention the fare itself is very reasonable https://www.transitchicago.com/fares/ also bike lanes abound now. You would be hard pressed to find a major street without at least the lines and most expansion now is about protected lanes.
This is quite literally what a large stretch of the Ohlone Greenway looks like from Richmond through El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, down to Oakland looks like.
Pepe is dead. His creator killed him because of all the far right memes he was used in.
Just stop.
fuck the far right they can't take pepe from us. Don't let them walk all over you
i did not know walkable cities was a far right movement. wow. you learn something new everyday i guess
walkable cities are not a far right movement.
you just said it was. because of Pepe. are u messing with me?

i really wish my city had a lot of bike lanes
Well, I can tell you as someone who lives in one that does: cops and other assholes park all over the bike lanes constantly, and idiots walk all over it without looking. So…I’m all for them. But we have to eliminate cops and cars and other idiocy for them to workike they should.
You can read all about it in my upcoming NYT bestseller, Cops and Other Idiots: A Biker’s Guide to Pretending You Didn’t Mean To Run Over That Cop (And Those Other Assholes!)
you wish your city had a lot of bike PATHS, it drives me mad that everyone keeps using the term "bike lane" because that very specifically means just painting a line on the road which is TERRIBLE.
If every bike lane was replaced with a wide sidewalk for both bicycles and pedestrians america would actually be a halfway okay place to live in, that's the standard here in sweden and while it's obviously not optimal, it means you can reliably bike just about everywhere and people with wheelchairs or mobility scooters don't have to worry about having infrastructure available to safely get around.
i had no idea bike path and lane meant different things, i had bike paths in mind when i wrote that
it's really frustrating that youtubers who talk about urbanism especially in places like north america don't talk more about this distinction, i think it does a pretty significant amount of harm that people never get to learn the proper terms for these things.
Like, imagine getting into this stuff and you merrily contact local politicians and talk about how bike lanes would help cyclists and help the city, if that goes through you might think you're going to see massive improvements and then you're given a slap to the face when you see that they just.. draw a line of paint on the roads..
Another thing that rather annoys me but it nowhere near as bad, is the insistence on separated single-direction road-level bike paths, often with shitty separation from traffic.
I think it would be more effective to campaign for simple wide multi-use paths, especially where there are already sidewalks you can just make those 3x as wide and paint a line at the edge of the old sidewalk, and suddenly you have something that lets EVERYONE get around safely and comfortably, even people in wheelchairs and large bulky mobility scooters, and it's much easier to maintain than narrow bike paths with obstacles on either side.
But obviously i'm biased because that's how it generally works here, however it works really well for establishing a baseline level of accessibility and cementing in people's minds that living without a car is perfectly doable even if it's not necessarily convenient yet.
my city has but they're in such a bad condition you'd need a good mtb to ride there
Let me guess. Meanwhile car road is in perfect condition.
I really wish my city had no Sobyanin and my country had no Putin. Bike lanes are better alternatives to those two things.
I bet the Dutch would reward anyone who delivered Putin to the Hauge with some bike lanes wherever they want.
Yay! "National treasure" is finally worth something!
Even if we don't end up winning the Euro football championship, 🇳🇱 is the walkability winner.
I recently came across this enthusiastic in-depth analysis of a completely unknown and (to us) normal train station somewhere in the province. No sports event will ever make me feel as patriotic as this video.
the nordics win walkability because we just do not give a fuck and will walk anywhere, i have seen parents with a baby in a stroller going for a walk in the middle of nowhere with cars whizzing past at 60 km/h
Aww hell yes
Low-key looks like Seoul
Isn't Seoul in corporate feudalism country?
EDIT: yes
Yea but it's a walkable city
~~4chan for walkability~~
