Robert Shull discusses reducing our dependency on automobiles with Jim Rosenbarger, a member of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Commission. Jim describes the function of the Commission and some of the solutions proposed for making walking and biking safer and more attractive alternatives to driving. He cites examples in Columbus, OH, and Boulder, CO, where, under the influence of the Congress for the New Urbanism, delightful, walkable communities have been built. The problems of bicycle safety are also addressed and what people can do to influence the trend toward more walkable, bikeable communities here in Bloomington.
