Report: Big cities key to Canada's future; need to promote a shift away from cars
Gee, most of us here on Living Car-Free could have told them this!
Cities need affordable housing, transit and infrastructure Use "carrot and stick" approach to promote a shift from cars to public transit |
It's a good article.
We're starting to see that in some areas as cities in the US are experiencing a "Rebirth" because the burbs have run out of room. In the New York Metro, there are massive developments being constructed all over but it's getting real pricy. But you can't move out to the burbs because prices of new or old homes are out of this world! |

patc, have you biked in Montreal? From what I've seen and heard, they have a great setup with bike pathways that are separate from cars. Would love to go one day, so I'm just curious.

I'm honestly not a big believer in completely separate bike pathways. I usually take the shortest route from point A to B, particularly at this time of year. Google turned up a map of Montreal's bike trails. . Seems to follow the waterways, and looks completely useless for daily commuting, shopping, etc. I haven't found a maop shopwing bike lanes, side-paths, etc. |
