The 6 biggest roadblocks to building complete streets in our communities
BY CHRIS & MELISSA BRUNTLETT, VancityBuzz
[B' Spokes: Just the headlines.]
1. An unintended, but counterproductive focus on the commute to work
2. The belief that streets should act as thoroughfares, and not destinations
3. The perception gap around how customers actually arrive at a business [B' Spokes: You have to see the graphic.]
4. The conviction that bikes belong on side streets, and not on main streets
5. A tendency to frame the discussion around those people who already cycle
6. A failure to recognize the (rather lucrative) potential for tourism spending
