Winter Walking and Cycling

[plam]

Probably most of it. The roads in the Montreal suburb where my parents live are pretty wide and could do with less width. On the other hand, areas like the Plateau Mont-Royal use streets as car storage and aren't that wide.

Well, we could also eliminate public car storage, I thought that went without saying . Ultimately, it's all speculation, no government would ever consider this, even a moderately progressive one, as they have, largely because much like sasquatch or big foot, fiscal conservatives are something that people think they see a lot, but is generally just a figment of their imagination.

There was a tweet that pointed to a forum discussion of a USSR simulation game talking about car storage and how in the real USSR people had to walk 30 minutes to their parking lot (they used their cars to go to the dacha, not to work). Can't find it again. But it would be hard to imagine that in any North American city.

In the Plateau in particular there aren't any driveways. So if there was no on-street parking it would actually be even more difficult to own a car than it is. You already have to move your car twice a week for snow removal in winter.
