[quote]QUOTE: <br /> The way we build now it seems that in many new communities the shortest and safest way to walk from one place to another is on the railway tracks, rather than a two- or four-lane hightway with no sidewalks. I wonder how many railfans live in places like that and don't complain. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />What's the deal with places being so pedestrian un-friendly. <br /> <br />When I was out in Ontario about a year ago, I didn't have a car so I mostly walked everywhere, there were some places where I would try and go and there wasn't even a way to get there by foot! <br /> <br />I had to get a taxi in some areas so I could cross over highways that didn't have pedestrian overpasses. <br /> <br />You don't realize how dependent we have become with cars until you don't have one yourself, and try and get around!
