Having tried to walk from a business hotel in Roseville Minnesota to the nearest restaurant I discovered just this - and passing motorists looked at me like I was bonkers!
Heck, you couldn't even get from the hotel to the adjacent office block without walking on the road, or cutting across scrub.
Santa Clara is only marginally better. However retrofitting cycle lanes is a much easier prospect than retrofitting sidewalks, and crossings.
- ptaipale 11y agoI remember some very friendly people in Rohnert Park, CA. We (four middle-aged men) were on a work trip and decided to walk from the Doubletree hotel to the local Walmart, some 500 meters away, just to get some exercise after 16 hours of flight and 8 hours of meetings. Several people driving by stopped to ask: "Do you need help? Did your car break down?".
