Redesigning streets for humans actually is an investment that will pay for itself in time. You could tax the restaurants for the patios, for example.
Since you take away heavy car traffic, the street will need less maintenance
Now that your street is nicely walkable, put some trees in, make it look nice, have restaurant and bar patios out, and you’ll have much,uchore people visiting, making restaurants earn higher profits, making then also pay more taxes, again.
Or you just make the street for humans, and with that have enough space for sidewalk patio tables and people to walk and cycle through
Yeah, I’m sure that municipality has the cash lying around to just redesign all their streets. Why didn’t they think of that?
It literally only takes paint.
I didn’t think of that. And it wasn’t even late when I commented, so I don’t have an excuse.
