RETHINK COLLEGE PARK - Traffic: Is it worth the worry?


[B' Spokes: Is society's logic simply because we can't bike or walk to nice places nearby we don't want to ever bike/walk to places nearby. Or more to the point, is our traffic "logic" so convoluted that the very thing we are trying to avoid is the very thing that ends up being promoted?]

While I agree that 30 minutes is a long time to travel two miles in a car, I suspect that this is not an everyday occurrence. However, let’s assume the development is built as planned and she must endure the burden of additional time to pick up her children. Is she worse off? I argue no.
...
Now, let’s think of the benefits of having a quality, mixed-use development within walking distance of your home.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
