Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation to accelerate road projects, claiming it will make driving less miserable. However, driving in Florida isn’t miserable because of a lack of roads — it’s miserable because the road network is designed in nonsensical, dangerous ways that increase conges
Completely agree. Also, sharing the road with cars just sucks on general: noise, smell, sudden gusts of wind.
I really love what the Minneapolis area did. There used to be railroad lines all over the place around here, and many of them have been turned into walking/bike highways, connecting a vast network of off-street (separated by grass) paved paths. I can ride from my house in the burbs to the co-op in the local town and be on streets only through my neighborhood to get to the nearest rail-trail. It’s only 8 miles to the store, but still - entirely off street, dedicated walking/bike paths.
It’s one of the things I love most about this place, and coming from the Philadelphia region, it’s a little awe-inspiring.
