How do you propose we handle logistics or emergency vehicles? I’m all for more walkable cities but rip them all up and replace them with what? Rails which are more expensive and less flexible? Pneumatic tube? Even if you switched to single person cargo bikes you would still want dedicated areas for vehicles versus pedestrians.
- spaceguillotine 2y agoThis problem has been solved by equipment designed for narrower roads. It is not a hard problem to solve and cities like this have been around a very long time. There are literally solutions to every issue you bring up that are already on the market.
- browningstreet 2y agoSee pedestrian first roads in the NL. There are bigger and more complicated cities that have done these things and became the better for it.

- throw0101a 2y ago> How do you propose we handle logistics or emergency vehicles? Find the the width of said emergencies vehicles, and then build bike lanes that are a little wider than that: the emergencies vehicles can drive down them quite easily (and cyclists can get out of the way quite quickly). Alternatively, if a city has trams, created segregated rights of way, and the emergency vehicles can use them. * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2dHFC31VtQ&t=18m47s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2dHFC31VtQ&t=18m47s And less-car-centric areas ≠ no-vehicles-allowed-ever areas.
