<dabreegster> It sounds like public transit is leaps and bounds ahead of most of the world. I'd love to visit soon and check it out. :slightly_smiling_face:
I know the pain of bike lanes being abused by parking / deliveries, and from following urbanists from different cities, it's unfortunately a pretty universal problem.
> I'd like to know more about what you meant by encouraging citizens to "re-design streets".
A few very specific examples:
1. There's a gated/private community in Seattle that, if it was opened to people walking & biking, would cut a common trip's time significantly, take those people off of a busy/dangerous street, and let them avoid steep incline. In A/B Street, you can modify access restrictions for through-traffic and simulate what would happen if this is opened up. We're putting together a blog post with videos following specific simulated
people before and after the proposed opening. And we have lots of aggregate statistics from the simulation about travel time and risk/safety impact.
2. A similar example is
https://www.glwstreets.org/aurora-park-path. There's a third lane on this stretch of highway that's barely used. Another group has proposed putting up a barrier and letting people bicycle on it. We're writing a blog using the simulation to show how good of an idea this is. We can measure how dangerous / slow the alternate routes are and how much steep hills people have to fight through without this.
The simplest story for getting people to redesign streets would be something like:
1. Get a small section of one city/town in Taiwan imported into A/B Street, clean up data quality problems, find census / commuter data to create a demand model. This is the "baseline" of how things are today.
2. Use the GUI to modify lanes along some roads. Common example is changing street parking to a bike lane + physical buffer / flexposts.
3. Run the simulation before and after the modified road, compare individual people's routes/experiences, compare aggregate data using the GUI.
4. Write up some kind of blog post / share the idea with whoever has the power to make the change for real
