I agree there needs to be something done to make Hartford more walkable, as well as drastic improvements to public transportation, in order to decrease the dependence on cars and get more cars off the road. I disagree that a hospital should have anything to do with this, and indeed, they will always require parking on site in a big way. Sick people and people from out of town frequent the hospital and there needs to be immediate accommodation for them. The worst thing you can do for an argument you’re passionate about is argue it poorly and that is what you’ve done. I think plenty of people would be happy with reliable, fast, clean, and cheap public transportation, but I don’t think demanding it from a hospital is going to get you many people on your side. Might be something you organize for and put pressure on elected officials, who’s jobs it is to improve the city/state and make things easier and better for their constituents.
