It’s fairly easy to make the case analytically, but it often doesn’t sink in. To find that intuitive hook, I was planning an interpretive modern dance about traffic congestion. But at the last minute, we were all saved from what would surely have been an uncomfortable experience. Instead, I give you Sightline’s new 44 second video on fixing our roadways:
That video really does say it all. Instead of spending billions of dollars widening freeways and often relocating businesses and homes we should support and encourage mass transit.
