Dunno about a canal in a populated area, that’s breeding grounds for bugs. Definitely down with fucking the car-centric building we have now though.
If everything online English people say is any indication, I think that’s a yes.
This is because they’re too south to be northerners and to north to be southerners. The literal middle child of England. Every time you have to drive down south and it’s either pay to take the M6 toll road or deal with going closer to Birmingham, every stingy northerner is thinking in their head “fuck, this is a difficult choice”.
Why not just make a green space? Whats the point of bulldozing and flooding the land underneath the highway? Did a representative for the mosquitos make this meme?
THE MOSQUITO LOBBY
I KNEW IT
I’m pretty sure this meme is just suggesting making green spaces out of former highways, not literally turning it into a canal.
Also, the river probably doesn’t suit the transportation of goods necessary for high population densities. Maybe an underground rail?
Okay, pal, go ahead and transport 30,000 kilos of produce upriver within the next 2 days 16 times and tell me how efficient this river idea works out.
Spoiler: It’s gonna be terrible.
The dutch have more than one road (surprising, I know). Removing the eyesore won’t impact their shipping and transport
Removing a 4 or 6 way interchange absolutely would impact shipping and transport, which is why I suggested underground rail as a replacement.
Time to expidite!
I thought we were just going to immediately live somewhere affordable, then change jobs…?
My city is planning to make a sports area in a patch of vacant land in the middle of town, the plans show that the frickin’ parking lots take up about 50% of the whole site! They are also building brand new baseball fields there even when we already have 3 right now that’s only 1.63 km away. They haven’t started any construction yet so I’m contemplating a Lil sabotaging, maybe plant some bamboo in that area idk.
A local tower development - one as high as 92 storeys - is also getting a community centre in the middle. The community centre is 8 storeys, with parking underneath THAT.
in short, put the parking underground. I came to say that. If they don’t have a solution that involves parking safely out of the way, then it should fail at city hall.
When the local hospital built a new tower, I was surprised to see they used NONE of the 60-80 feet under-neath the new block for parking. And by parking, I mean 2000 10x20 partitioned but unsegregated underground storage areas that can be used for cars, hoarding of medical equipment in a pre-pandemic phase, or for emergency ward space later. So, everything you’d want to do with your parking lot, but also out of the elements and well-served by power, lighting and security.
Bamboo grows and spreads fast and is very hard to remove as it builds a strong network of underground roots. You need very heavy machinery to get rid of it.
The perfect plan. They definitely won’t have any heavy machinery when they show up to start construction on a new sports arena.
