Last mile from to station is solved by these new and awesome personal battery powered gadgets that are also fun to ride! E skate, unicycle, scoot, bike, what have you. It’s more practical for the smaller e-transport devices especially, carry on train , ride a mile after you get off train.

While I largely agree, we both know that isn't a workable solution for a number of folks. To further complicate matters, the entire area is a car-focused death trap for pedestrians or anyone not in a car.

While there are some nearby offices, there are a lot that are a few miles away from the mall and that creates its own problem.

So it could be a great catalyst long-term, but that would really require Montgomery County to really change their zoning laws and focus on more pedestrian-focused solutions.

I’m gonna continue to risk injury and death by not driving a car around other cars and instead ride one of the listed things, or a motorcycle. Someone’s got to get out there and go against the grain of always using cars…

I’ve already got titanium in both legs from being hit on the sidewalk inside the city, rolling the dice on more medical repairs, fuck it.
