An example of #Unwalkable #GoldCoast, #Australia. I didn't plan my bike ride carefully enough yesterday. I looked at an old map and didn't see footpaths, but I assumed that part of a recent A$25 million redesign of M1 exit 57 in Oxenford was adding some pedestrian infrastructure. I was wrong. There is no way to walk from #Oxenford to #Helensvale here. There is no way to safely ride a bike either. Even the painted #bike lanes end. This is a people-hostile design in the middle of the city.

Now this is interesting 🤔. In California, it would have been fantastic because you can miss a bus and still get to work or home eventually. Here in #Washington, if you miss a bus or train during winter time, you are as good as dead. You'll just #freeze to death waiting. The place is practically #unwalkable unless all you want to do is go to a neighbor's house. You can't walk to the store and hope to make it back alive or in time.
