We live in this beautiful garden city right on an ocean and my friend and I dreamt today about our ideal city. We would have it so that the entire city was dedicated to bicycling and walking, rollerblading individuals. Nothing powered by motor on these walks, anyways. And we would have it so that the only vehicles allowed to use the roads within the city limits would be supply vehicles and emergency vehicles .. and the entire city would be set up for bicycling, so the major portion of most current roads would now be given over to bicycle paths, a lane in each direction, with very low bushes as dividers (as grass is environmentally unsound both in terms of oxygen given back and the noise and pollution created in using gas-powered or electric mowers, so we're talking human power, as they do in India today ... do we really want to go there? We may have to, in the end) ...
