But car free paths is a deep standard to meet. Pavements (sidewalks) don't quite make it - you still cross roads. Although pretty safely. A cycle path that is car free is much harder - especially as you get into the elongated roadways of suburbia and car centric towns. There is a venn diagram with the Strong Towns argument of density and taxable value, the car-agnostic approach of Barcelona or Tokyo and i think the thin sliver of overlap with the modern world looks like car-free paths. A mobility network that is local and human powered and will engender path-side amenities and opportunities to spring up. Basically, just keeping the current town planning approach, with long car centric roads and amenities and just slapping a cycle path in is not transformative
