Just imagine how many federal dollars have gone to build Interstate freeway infrastructure in the hearts of big cities. Interstates were supposed to be just that — long-distance links between states — so their application as local commuting links was a misuse of funds from the start. Further, we can see it’s exacerbated rather than relieved local congestion. http://cyclingsolution.blogspot.com/

If just a fraction of federal subsidies for urban freeways went to bike facilities, pedestrianizing streets, local public transport, etc. — American cities would be much better places. http://cyclingsolution.blogspot.com/
