This reminds me of something that Dallas did a few years ago. Downtown and Uptown were divided by a massive 12-lane highway, but eventually they sank the highway down below grade and put it inside a tunnel, with a park built on top. Now they've got a great green space with food trucks and restaurants and lots of open area for activities. Completely changes the character of that part of the city without impacting traffic.
Even if something did impact cars (aka, the least efficient form of traffic), it can still be worth it. Many city centers in the Netherlands are completely car free. You'll have to work hard to find people that disagree with that over here. It's a paradigm shift, but it shows that you shouldn't always be worried about "impacting traffic". Traffic where it doesn't belong SHOULD be impacted. A neighborhood isn't a thoroughfare, and no place for a highway.
@@alex2143 It’s pretty shocking how long it’s taken to get cars banned from European city centres, it’s still not perfect but we’re finally making progress now. I’ve always felt allowing them in city centres was a stupid idea, even as a kid before I knew anything about urban planning or anything like it. I went to London and was just shocked by the constant back to back traffic all over the Victorian centre, I was walking around on foot faster than the cars, and whenever the cars were able to go faster and not jam up it just made walking worse because of the noise. It’s great to see that older European cities (which have even worse issues with cars just not fitting in the small streets) are finally banning them, and they should be banned in many other cities too for sure.
I didn’t know Minneapolis and St. Paul added this new public transport. It really improves walk ability and many other things. I enjoy your videos and subscribed.
I graduated from the U just last year, and getting around campus is great. With only busses and light rail traffic here, there is little chance of being struck by a car speeding down the street. There are even pedestrian bridges over this section near the student union/bus pickup and dropoff zone. Though this section only lasts a couple blocks, and it soon becomes a dangerous car filled road again. University Ave, as you continue east towards St Paul, is several lanes across and the light rail bisects the middle, making it feel like a small freeway.
Local Minnesota resident here! Thank you for mentioning noise pollution! Cities aren’t loud, cars and trucks are. I’m excited to see the expansion of the blue and green lines in the future as the blue line might make its way into northern Brooklyn Park.
It's funny how much you start to take things like this for granted when you live in the area. Thanks for reminding me to appreciate it! I just hope the street layout can expand out from the UofM campus someday.
I remember when Washington Avenue was a a four lane death road cutting through the most walkable part of the city. This transformation was part of the reason I was drawn to the urban studies major when I later attended the University. So happy to see attention being brought to small, impactful quality of life improvements such as this!
The issue with trams having to share space with cars and pedestrians is that the trams can't travel at full speed due to collision danger, and they tend to get stuck in traffic. This dramatically decreases their efficiency and viability, but they're still better than busses in terms of passenger capacity and ride quality.
What? How? Idk how else can it be but in my city 95% of tram tracks go on their own piece of land and are not a part of any street so they dont share the road with anyone and never sit in traffic. The draw to trams over busses or cars is that in rush hour i can get places literally faster by it than in a car stuck in trafic
@@firestarter1888 You're right, I accidentally said trains instead of trams. My point was that trams don't work well unless they are separated from other traffic, so we're on the same page.
Not really. Max speed is not that important for the tram average speed in the city centre where it stops every 500 metres at the stops anyway. What is important is that it does not have to stop anywhere else.

I'm glad I stumbled across this channel; this is great work, and it's a perspective more people need to see. If I may offer a constructive critique: it helps to use consistent meanings of "street" and "road," where a "road" is a high-throughput simplified environment with minimal on/off connections and a "street" is a platform for city development and the places where we conduct our lives. (And then there's the "stroad" monstrosity; a thing that tries to be both street and road.) In this video we have an awesome example of a stroad being reclaimed into a street. Keep up the great work and good luck with your channel!

Banning cars is not the answer. It just shifts the pollution and congestion problem elsewhere. But wrong thinking anti car councils think "oh, if we ban them or take away their parking, they'll just give up". Errr, wrong. This was done in London, and although it's eased central congestion, the outer roads are now more congested than ever. Tick in a box for the politicians.
Except the congestion charge was hugely successful, motor vehicle traffic around the centre is down by 60% since 2008, public transit use is up, and cycling has gone from a miniscule 2% to a nearing 15% of the modal share
It is the answer, it just takes time, it's not an immediate solution but instead of having 15 individuals in their individual cars, now you have 15 individuals in a tram, already you're seeing a decrease of pollution, with raids being safer, people can take other options for transports, this includes cycling and another decrease in pollution
You done spouting bullshit? Cars are by far the least space efficient method of transport there is. Sure, banning cars shifts some of the congestion to other modes of transport. Guess what, each one of those modes of transport are far better at dealing with congestion than cars. Oh, and do you honestly believe for even a second that pollution is in the top 5 reasons to minimize car use? Because it isn't. Cars are space inefficient, loud, dangerous, require dedicated parking and require the construction of large expensive roads. All 5 of those reasons are far more important arguments for minimizing the use of cars. Also, seriously? London? One of the most car infested cities in the UK that put practically no effort into building a functional transport network? There are only 2 reasons I can think of for you using that as an example. Either that is the example that every dumbass you listened to gave you, or you're trying to gaslight us. So, which one is it? I'll be waiting for an answer.

I live in a city of 1 million people with 24 tram lines. Not once have i been stuck in traffic using one, unless someone in a CAR decided to cut across the tram tracks causing an acsident.
I can’t condone this kind of policy. From what I see near my place (European village), there are bikeways everywhere in town and even villages, these bikeways are rarely used and take away a lot of room from the very active car traffic. Same thing for the sidewalk, at some places they are ridiculously large also to the detriment of cars. Tram traffic is not shared with car traffic. Parking previously free has become expensive. Personally I don’t go to town anymore; I buy all I need in the large malls outside the city. I have no functioning bike and plan to keep my two cars for convenience. This is not fighting climate change, it’s just pissing people off.
Cars are expensive for cities to serve. Good public transit + pedestrian / bike infrastructure is win.
No.
Cars cost the city nothing and are a source of revenue. The other things you list are endless money pits of public spending.
