I wouldn't call anything about this current administration "good government" especially the way they handled the current city traffic situation. It's an absolute nightmare for drivers. But that's the point I guess. They want to make it as difficult as possible for drivers in order to make them so frustrated that they never bring their cars into the city center.

Those of us who hail from the school of city planning that believes in keeping private traffic away from urban centers commend the big-picture plan for downtown Jerusalem to become decreasingly car-friendly over time. Full respect, though, to the gripes from people trying to navigate and park in town. They are the collateral damage of such a policy, and cheers to those who make these victims' lives easier.

are all those streets otherwise only open to taxis and buses? huh. did i forget that, or is that relatively new?
what's the deal with public bike racks and making the city somewhat more bike-friendly? does that fit into any master plans? 0 • olxguazo • 05:46 on 12 April 2008
