Despite the fact that I truly believe Buttigieg staged a photo op despite Snopes's claim (Grouch Marx's 'Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes" works here), I am interested in what he has planned and what he will try to make roads safer for bikes and wheelchairs.
Detroit's done a incredible job of making their streets more bike friendly, but this was easy as the 6 lane street have barely any usage as many residents keep leaving the city.
But I'm also interested in the arteries of our transportation system, the highways, busy streets, etc. I keep going back to that S Korea video of cyclists riding in the center of the freeway on a protected path. I doubt we'll see that heere. Any progression to that is certainly welcomed, as long as it doesn't fall short, and only barely enough to put a politicians name on it, soon to be abandoned to tree roots, gravel, mud, etc, as I've seen with so many projects in Michigan.
Any papers released on his ideas?
