Infrastructure plan and bikes and pedestrians and connecting "islands"
A big problem in the US is the disjointed nature of communities as it relates to travelling them on foot or by bicycle. You might have an "island" of low speed limit and pretty safe streets or roads in an area, just to be funneled to a very busy very dangerous area. Then you risk life and limb navigating that area to get to the next "island".
With specific claimed provisions in the infrastructure bill to "reconnect communities split up" in the past, how might this play out for this kind of issue?
I'm sure there's more knowledgeable folks in here who could shed light on that. But I'm always left thinking when planning local routes "if only there was 1/4 mi connector right there".
