What "work" means here is not clear because the goals of this exercise would need to be further articulated. Is it to enable everyone to get to and from work via public transit? To the grocery store? Is it to get people to stop driving their single-occupancy vehicles altogether (I'd like to have that option!)? Depending on the goal(s), surely other cities have figured out good strategies that work well (with evidence to show it). We should study these and then figure out what can work here. I'd like to see a menu of possibilities with costs and benefits (broadly understood) upon which I can comment or discuss.
