You don't need to widen roads for that. In fact, it might be the worst option due to induced demand. For the curious, see:
More Lanes are (Still) a Bad Thing

The quote specifically mentions "widen any roads". I haven't read Charlottesville plans, but it could have included other options like public transport and bike infrastructure.
Guess it is time to fill in that niche, 😉 😉

Let your city know, contact your council, tell your experience, and ask for protected bike lanes :)
Train* when available.
Bring a bike with you and you can basically go anywhere on your trip
It sounds like your city does not prioritize trains at all
train was PACKED and spent 10m at every stop
add more wagons or increase frequency for example
then they hit a car
intersections with car traffic are always a problem and they should be minimized
train was every 10. Some days every 30, some days 2 in a row
i can bet the tracks share the same space with regular roads and signaling does not prioritize public transit, which usually leads to this sort of inconsistent schedule
that didn’t make it any easier
that's usually the excuse used to cut funding to public transit instead of the other way around: "see it doesnt work, why waste money on it". They never mention how it's been underfunded for decades, how cars are always prioritized, and the success cases seen all around the world where it works properly
does the train increase commerce in an area?
stations are usually prime real state for commerce and housing due to all the foot traffic it brings. Just look at stations in Japan, they are basically big shopping malls, without all the unnecessary parking, and high towers all around for housing
Just chill in the cabin with some chicken soup as much as needed, and comeback to your happily rambles whenever you feel like it. Btw, have you finished God of War by now?
How big is that? 100 m²?
I thought you needed one more lane, so we approved $600 million to fund highway widening while public transport continues underfunded:
Would you download a train?
