Reply #81: Portland has an amazing public transportation system

[Lorien]

my town, Orlando, has one of the highest pedestrian death rates in the country. Our public transportation system is a complete embarrassment. Instead of investing in light rail (which the public has been screaming for for 15+ years now) Gov. Jebbie just widens more roads-which just widens more waistlines. With our good weather most Floridians would love to bike or walk to the market, school, etc.-but we have hardly any sidewalks, let alone bike paths.Only the wealthy living in towns like Celebration and Baldwin Park have the luxury of traveling safely without a motor vehicle.
