My city redesign our downtown roads to have a whole bunch of horrible one ways in the 50s, and we are FINALLY changing back to how it was while making improvements like bike lanes. The first attempt at bike lanes with the current layout was horrible, basically death traps everywhere… Hoping for something better this time, lol. And more colored road lines, I like colored road lines.
I live on Jeju-Do: a South Korean island with a population of ~700’000. Half of the registered electric cars in all of Korea are on the island. Anecdotally, just driving down the road to work, every third car I see is electric. We’ve got electric buses, scooters, and bikes all over the place too. If only we could stop the pollution blowing over from China (not that Korea is innocent of polluting their own air.)
That sounds awesome…!
We have electric bikes and scooters in our city and this summer they also cover the neighborhood I live. Haven’t had the time to test them yet.
Yay!! That’s awesome, I’d love to see those here.
We’re supposed to be getting a rail trail soon. Train line hasn’t been used for more than 30 years. New England, NSW.
The train folk aren’t happy about it, but I can’t see the government spending billions to open a badly decayed line when one already exists two hours away along the coast, and they’re already building another one on the plains not too far away.
Rail trails are amazing tbf, there’s one right that passes across the street from me, it goes 30 miles west to Lake Michigan.
