| Comment | So, I actually agree with everything you've said.
People will still need cars to travel medium-long distances, whether for work or anything else. Well into the foreseeable future.
What can be avoided though are the journeys that are short enough to be made on foot, by public transport, or by bike (trips under 1-2 miles say). A huge number of car journeys are these short trips currently.
We have plenty of multi-level car parks around the centre, which are often (highly) under capacity. The Connectivity Commission highlighted this in their report last year, recommending that this capacity might be used by new residents of the city centre itself.
So, having fewer cars able to move around within the city centre needn't be a ban on people living in the centre owning cars and using them to travel significant distances for work. |
