Access by proximity
The best solution to transportation problems is to reduce the need for transportation in the first place. You do this by designing neighborhoods where people live close jobs, shopping, and other daily destinations — neighborhoods that are designed with streets and public spaces that encourage walking, biking, and transit use.
This section will cover the projects that are developing or redeveloping compact, walkable neighborhoods in Northeast Ohio.

curatorius Says:Ever notice how some of the best ideas are low-tech and low-budget?
I work at CWRU, and some students who came here from out of state for an education have complained about how often sidewalks leading from Cleveland Heights to University Circle are not shoveled out during snow season. Many homeowners, and sometimes even the Cleveland Heights city plowing crews, plow snow from vehicular right-of-ways right onto sidewalks and bus shelters.
I'm giving some thought to how best to pressure CH City Council on this. Please let me know your thoughts particularly if you are a Case student, and/or CH resident.
