I feel sorry for them. But then again, this is what they want.
-
They oppose making parking expensive.
-
They oppose bus lanes
-
They oppose bike lanes.
-
They oppose trains
-
They oppose train stations.
-
They oppose congestion pricing.
They oppose any measure that might reduce car dependency.
Take 1 lane away, and put a subway down the middle of that bad boy.
Absolutely not. Motorway median metros are the worst kind. Build transit in better places, and remove highway lanes own its on merits.
Induced demand is a real thing. You can disinduce demand just the same. Remove lanes to decease traffic.
