      We must stop burning fossil fuels. We must manage the transition to a fossil-fuel future proactively. Bikes and walking will be the primary modes of transportation in the future (sooner than we think) whether we plan for that or not. (I wonder what the stats are on the trending percentages of people for whom walking and biking are the main mode of getting around. I bet it’s increasing. And I bet primarily among the poor…) Bicycle, pedestrian, and carbon-neutral public transportation infrastructure development should be the primary activity of DelDOT. Mobility is a basic civil right, and as existence is also, it needs to be sustainable.
