Road Ragin'
So Ann Arbor has been having a bit of a pedestrian crisis
over the last couple of weeks. It seems like a good chunk of it was spurred on
by this video
(I’ll let you judge for yourself), but there is definitely some truth to the
idea that many parts of Ann Arbor just aren’t very pedestrian friendly.
The question for the city then is how to fix this problem
and the answers – at least so far – have been fairly predictable. More laws and
more money.
