Wow, Mustachian Living
« on: August 20, 2014, 12:46:14 PM »
I don't know anything else about this town except for the video, but that is amazing.  My kids are on buses to school (the HS is walk-able and I plan to make the kids do it) and the grade school is on a road that is really dangerous where they discourage even the kids that live on that road from walking/biking to school.

It would be nice if more towns where this was feasible would do this and there are.

Love this!  Our school is very close, but unfortunately there's not a great way to get there without going completely out of the way - It's technically just a mile or so away as the crow flies, but there's city owned land behind our subdivision that's packed with trees and a small creek but deepish ravine.  If the city would build a bridge and walking/biking path we could easily walk to school, as could probably about 50 other families.  As it is now, we'd be walking on a very busy, two lane road without sidewalks.
