Hi everyone!

Is it not RIGHT NOW the best time to make a clear presentation or summary
of the major action points for carfree cities and areas? Gas prices are
causing headaches and otherwise unsolvable problems for both private
citizens and their communities, cities, regions, etc.

What I would propose:

1. Make cycling 100% safe where possible, by creating segregated lanes
without any contact with motorised traffic.

2. Make walking 100% safe with segregated lanes/paths, etc.

3. Lower the price of public transport especially when it is run on
electricity or other sustainable energy forms.

4. Learn about the benefits of compact living for citizens and their
cities, regions, etc:
- Better economies at all levels
- Better air quality and environment
- Better health
- More room for nature to thrive
- Less energy used
- Less greenhouse gases emitted
- etc!

with good wishes,
Aaron
