Salivating for mid-block crosswalks, more armored bike lanes, daylit intersections, and more on the west coast, too.

I mean the big numbers are missing from those listed. How is the remaining 85% split up? Probably by foot and public transport but idk. Biking is the best if it works for your needs, but the real takeaway here is amazing public transport and walkability.

Yeah, I was amazed at just how rare car trips are... In my local city, I think it's more like 85% by car, 10% by mass transit, 4% by foot, and 1% people somehow defying death on a bicycle...
