Roads are a fair chunk of the budget, but health related expenses generally are far more. The problem is a car dominated city generates massive health costs. Walkable cities are healthier cities. Walkable cities reduce crashes both with other cars and pedestrians. Walkable cities reduce pollution and lower the amount of total road miles needed by their citizens.
- bluGill 1y agoI fully agree, but the fact remains roads are not that expensive in the grand scheme. Well they are not that expensive so long as the city isn't stupid about growth projections - strong towns likes to take some examples of cities being stupid and extrapolate that to all cities.
