List of Street Purposes - comments please

[Court Smith]

The purposes of streets are listed below. Is this list complete? How would you prioritize it?

  Public Safety (ambulance, fire, police);

  Utility Pathway (water, sewer, storm water, and gas lines)

  Commerce (deliveries, shipments, support a vibrant economy);

· Connectivity (transit, cyclists, service providers, celebrations, visiting);

· Movement (work, school, play, health care, and shopping);

·  Vehicle storage (convenience and accessibility to residents)

Hi,

Many of you have probably heard me propose mobile shops which bring shopping to
currently underserved neighborhoods where a car is needed to buy anything. Such a
program is in operation in Washington DC, in the primarily minority neighborhood of
Anacostia (ward 8) and seems to be working. See

Such a program, comparable to the library Bookmobile, could be valuable in areas
like the 'Oaks' neighborhoods, Grand Oaks and Royal Oaks, as well as more rural
areas. First Alternative or another food shop or individual could invest in a
(electric) truck and run a pilot at a relatively low cost, and this could reduce
driving and congestion and the need for parking and even owning a second family car,
while even being profitable.
