its a thorny issue eh.
The road systems we have inherited weren't designed for the volume of traffic and vehicles that now exist, and if you think that city streets are all about the car, you're misguided. Any current and future city planning is designing around people, bikes and public transport, not cars. Because there's now a clear and recognised understanding that traffic and roads disrupt community, as well as being unsustainable and polluting.
I'm not anti car, I'd rather be on a bike, but we need the car from time to time.
What I've an issue with is drivers and driving and the volume of cars. People in car after car, on their own, in their own bubble, unaware of anyone else, putting their foot down. For them its just a road, they don't see the people for whom this is home and life.
What's interesting about Ted Dewan is he's experimenting with ways to shift the focus back to the people who live on the street, not the driver cutting through, surely the right thing?
Its not about decorating the street with crazy installations, its about trying things which might have a positive effect. again surely common sense.
I'd still love to trial the kids sock bunting on hewitt road though, just to see what happens, if it makes any difference, surely it would at the very least be an interesting test which could also be quite fun?
I think Home zones is exactly the sort of long term solution. Can we push to submit a pilot in harringay/hewitt road?
