I'm pro-bike, as I said, but I'm also pro-bus, pro-train, pro-walking... basically anything that's sustainable and puts the streets back in the hands of PEOPLE, not cars. <br /><br />Columbus has Segway Tours, a continuous streetcar and light rail issue, the Bicentennial Bikeways Plan, all sorts of sidewalk and pedestrian plans, and more. It's really fertile ground - and it provides me the opportunity to tie the Examiner role with my blog a lot more as well. <br /><br />The other side of this is that ANY transportation plan needs to include consideration of ALL options. I'm a firm believer in looking at the big picture, and I think it behooves us all to do so. Bike lanes and Sharrows will affect how buses work in town, and all of them will affect pedestrian traffic. I want to look at things from the big picture!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040231681301411948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034991754692855646.post-21967670858863448272009-11-05T18:44:25.005-05:002009-11-05T18:44:25.005-05:00Gosh, Jamie, there's a host of alternative tra...Gosh, Jamie, there's a host of alternative transportation things to cover: walking events, public transit, scooters, electric vehicles, and the like. How about a walking tour connecting historical sites and buildings, or one covering architecture? (Tulsa has lots of Art Deco, for instance.) Rail-to-trails, popular destinations, museums, art galleries, and more.Ed Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661476789768156794noreply@blogger.com
