This is coming to a city near you, if it hasn't already. They're from the government, and they're here to help you suffer.

I just found this article from a link on another site, which I should really check more often. I was at that site looking for comments about the new Secretary of Transportation (there was a mention). I hope to see saner transportation policy in the new administration than what's described in this article.

This is why we need the PEACE Act

The Public Employee Anti Congestion Environmental Act.

All Public Employees shall use Public Transportation to and from their respective workplaces. A Violation of this law is a Felony, punishable by a Mandatory Minimum of 5 years in Prison and a $1 Million dollar fine.

That’s “representing the people” in the Age of Obama.

This is commonly known as “Smart Growth.” It’s part of Agenda 21 to encourage people to live in dense areas, cities to combat “suburban sprawl.” To the liberal urban planners, a crowded gun free Chicago is morally superior to gun totting country bumkins.

Sounds like LA, we now have train stations with no parking lots, you must either walk, taxi, uber, or get dropped off. No cars allowed lol

A public service of the greater Broward anti DESTINATION league. Also, having to drive around Tampa, fortunately just once in a while I’ll never EVER complain about NYC traffic again.

Imagine that- a “Castro” causing people to suffer. Wonder if she is any “kin” to the dead dictator whom Jimmah Cahtah just loved? Castro is a common name, but the old boy had a lot of “spawn” from his various mistresses. Any connex of this Anne Castro to the Ros-Lehtinens?

Don’t know how people in Broward get along. It’s not enough to have a toll road turnpike and I-95. And the surface roads like driving through Caracas.

And a second question— does the light rail from N. Miami extend into Broward— and if so, does anyone use the rail they already have for public transport (ie. money already spent, and condemnation of private land already completed?)?

For the last 8 years the Feds (DOT under their "Environment section) has offered cities federal dollars to REDUCE busy streets from 4 lanes to 2 lanes & use the remaining footage for bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks. It's their answer to congested streets (HA!!!!) Scroll down the page to "Road Diets". Also, Barcelona has taken this idea to the extreme - here are the links: http://99percentinvisible.org/category/cities/, also: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bicycle_pedestrian/funding/funding_opportunities.cfm

apparently the concept of public service is dead in Florida. Having been replaced by a fascist dictatorship that arrogantly shoves American citizens around like we’re cattle who have to be prodded into the slaughterhouse.

Wonder how this dumb ass broad in Broward county gets to work?

Also wonder if she would like to walk or ride a bus with all the poor ignorant unwashed mass she thinks ought to suffer under her majestic rule.

“Until you make it so painful that people want to come out of their cars, they’re not going to come out of their cars,” Anne Castro, chair of the Broward County Planning Council


You can’t be much more appropriately named than this Castro.

Self driving cars are part of the commie plan to put Big Brother in charge of our movements.

Their goal is to eliminate personally controlled conveyances altogether, and put the whole population into a system of autonomous people movers controlled by them.

The liberals are doing this where I live, San Jose, CA.
They are actually removing traffic lanes and installing UNUSED bicycle lanes.
They are permitting 3 &4 story breeding pens into every available square foot of dirt without any road improvements causing traffic snarls where there should be none.
In a sane world their heads would be on pikes....but then again it’s early...
