vcu is one of the most high pedestrian areas in the whole region, we should design streets to accommodate that

mindblowing, right?

oh i dont fucking know, maybe try to make main st less of a death trap? maybe actually give a shit about pedestrians? maybe stop designing every single piece of asphalt in the country for the sole purpose of moving cars as fast as possible? oh but boo hoo the suburbanites would be mildly inconvenienced, so lets make main st 4 lanes wide and have the sidewalks floating above, then drivers won't have to interact with those p*destrians

let them come!

i have a radical solution: slow the cars down so their not killing people!

mb. ill walk a quarter of a mile to the light, wait two minutes, and walk another quarter of a mile

because in america we need big flashing lights to get drivers to stop for pedestrians… sigh

yeah. people hate to admit it but an entry camera can create amazing photos with a bit of trickery

the amount of people who spend 1000+ on a phone with a fancy camera and dont really know how to use it is kinda annoying. spending the extra seconds to adjust exposure and composition makes something go from “oh cool” to “wow thats awesome!”

im voting #2 because it promises pedestrian accomodation

whilst #3 also says that, its a new complex intersection which means ppl would have to wait at lights and deal with high speed slip lanes

and yes my criteria for good infrastructure projects is good walk/bike/transit

just bc you got a gun doesnt mean you can sit on your high horse bossing people around and telling them what to do

and whenever their ego gets harmed and people tell them to get off their high horse they get so mad

kroger or lidl, they taste alright ig

but i do love new grand!

hah, karma has a way!

well the power is out so ig freezing to death

as a train loving masochist i am so fucking jealous on levels you didnt even know were possible

booking rides like a taxi? really? jesus christ grtc is trying to spend the absolute least amount of money to say “look we implemented transit”

interesting they didn't do some of the grander stations like south station boston, 30th st philly, union station chicago (would have been perfect) or union in dc (which inspired milano centrale... yes america used to inspire other countries in public transit!)

..… vcu has acampus in qqatar?

yeah thats america alright

in terms of bike lanes and transit access its probably worse than alexandria

even though a subway would probably never come to richmond, lausanne has a really weird rubber tire metro system that’s actually really cool, especially considering how small the city is

chesterfield is run by dumb suburbanites that see the bus as what poors, homeless, drug addicts, and crazies use

the sad reality is suburbanisation means bus services wouldnt be too usefull anyway, unless its going to be zig zagging through residential streets, and even then the population density is just pretty low

no, when its the best option available people will use it

nobody is going to ride the bus if it comes every 30-60 minutes and is constantly stuck in traffic, even if its free

its astonishing how many people in america dont know anything about public transportation

like no shit when the bus isnt stuck in traffic its pretty popular!

oh wait until you hear about the hundreds of thousands who's homes were demolished for interstates
