That's a variable that affects travel time (because even moreso less stuff within a given radius).
- closeparen 9y agoI'd argue that shaving a few hundred feet of road off your journey is minuscule compared to shaving 20+mph off your speed. The most bizarre thing about the Narrow Streets proposal is, how they hell are bikes or buses supposed to work at reasonable speed if the streets are choked with them (and pedestrians, who would apparently have right of way on the same paths as bikes and buses, rather than parallel sidewalks).
- SamReidHughes 9y agoI'm not talking about any narrow streets proposal, just highways and major roads taking up more relative width as something to account for.
