It's a city, you can handle several issues at once.

And check out notjustbikes if you think walkability/bikeability isn't important. It absolutely is in a city.

Yeah, so many reoccurring issues have been fixed in the past ten years, right?

Get real. The governmental bodies in this city are incapable of doing more than one thing at a time if anything.

Biking is probably dead last on my list of things that should change in Philly.

Edit: I read Jane Jacobs and am well aware of how increased traffic leads to better outcomes. I just don’t believe it’s going to fix a damn thing right now.

I'm with you. This is down on the list of priorities in Philly as a whole right now. Crime, poverty, education, opioid epidemic, homeless and trash at least are above it.
