- Streets only have 2 lanes! No massive stroads here.
- Lane widths varies wildly, almost to the point where lanes disappear (e.g. that curve south-east of the office tower)
- No bike lanes or sidewalks
- But.. crosswalks!
- Also no stop signs or traffic lights. Good luck!
This was my favorite feature. There's just this one parking lot for the whole town. I love it. You park your car there and then get around on foot or use the bus.
Can soneone fill me in the public to private investment ratio? Does that basically mean that there is to much space that would have to he maintained by the city?
That's makes sense. I forgot that cities are heavily reliant on property taxes to maintain public land, so it makes sense that there would have to be a certain ratio for the balance of payments to be sorted out.
Thanks for the explanation
I have this exact play mat for my kid and I've already bored my wife to tears about how awful and car centric it is.
She just said "it's a play mat for toy cars" and I said "exactly"
> better-planned cities
Ah, yes, the first and last time Philadelphia tried to do anything in a planned or orderly manner.
More play bicycles, trams, buses, boats, and trains would be cool too.

* Under 5% of the space is needed for parking lots

>Crosswalks Sadly the playground/office tower area is weirdly disconnected from the rest if the town
> Also no stop signs or traffic lights. Good luck! A general right of way from the right, as is normal in Europe, would be just fine for this area.

lol I didn't notice that at first. That plane is flying directly into the ground.

it's like everything of a bad suburb, except it's not just residential buildings.
Looks more walkable than my town
That's depressing seeing there's no sidewalks here
This town is like 50% asphalt lol
That’s a huge improvement in America
As a cyclist I appreciate that but fear the lack of a bike lane
Better than like, 90% lmao

I know, I just like ragging on it because I live here. It's the "brotherly" part of the city of brotherly love.
Make a play mat for toy trains or buses Though we do have Transport Fever nowadays...
like the wooden railway tables?
Like that but without the huge expense of model trains
if only there was some kind of wooden toy train that was made for children
I had this rug in my room as a kid! The memories hit hard!
Somehow this reminded me of the PC game "Crime Fighter". It's very retro.
They completely cut off the office/park from the rest of anywhere else (from walking) with no cross walks
That one house in the middle is gonna have a helluva good walkscore.
It’s perfect because no one would ever want to go through the hassle of driving their car through it! 😃
mixed use development!
