If you prioritize cars, u get more cars.

If you prioritize walking, biking & transit-riding, u get more walking, biking & transit-riding.

This isn’t hard.

But here’s the key — if you prioritize cars, u get everyone trying to drive, & that fails for everyone, INCLUDING DRIVERS.

@kypros1992 One of the busiest air routes in the world. Rail could do it without the shocking greenhouse emissions.

Paris is to remove HALF of its 140,000 car parking spaces (yes, eliminate 70,000 car street parking), led by mayor @Anne_Hidalgo, to make the city more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly. #BuildBackBetter is not about words; it's Vision + Action, Action... https://t.co/rnAHZyAjUa

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure — bicycling.” — @mortenkabell

@Mattonews Well worth doing nonetheless. Needs a city station and extension through city to get best bang for buck.

@smithcorptweet We make the point you raise about motorway assessments often eg https://t.co/ZhKxFoLO3d

We don’t need to rip up rail for bicycles. They can happily co-exist and rail might be helpful for the saddle-sore.

@aptnsw The Dubbo to Moloney line has successfully had a Bike/Walking track added be to to the corridor for a short area that's a good model.

@MiddleMoney @bambul To answer your question - what’s a gunzel?

Sign the Manly Ferry petition here. The Freshwater’s ain’t broke. New ferries not up to the task. https://t.co/DfFTvvc9ii

High time to restart work on Maldon-Dombarton link. And room for other rail improvements in the IIllawarra.

Our submission on Metro Sydney Airport here https://t.co/pcdmqMet9Q Stations much too far apart.

[APTNSW @aptnsw]

We just need to add another two.

Andrew Constance has indicated the government will keep a second Freshwater ferry in service on Sydney Harbour, less than a month after announcing all but one of the world-renowned vessels would be removed from service. https://t.co/rgUjF4NYAU

[APTNSW @aptnsw]

Has Minister not been on a Freshwater class Sydney ferry on a summer weekend? We need the capacity. Bad move to remove them from service.

[APTNSW @aptnsw]

Why rip up rail lines for a “rail trail”? Let’s think dual purpose: bikes alongside tracks at safe distance, and renewed rail services.

Opens up option to ride one way on train and return using pedal power.

[APTNSW @aptnsw]

Cycle trails are great, but not a good excuse to rip up train tracks.
