Ke noi aku nei ʻo San Antonio iā ʻoe i kahi e waiho ai i nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa hou
I hoʻokahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua nānā ʻia ma ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa ka paikikala paikikala iā San Antonio ma waena o ka hapakolu hope loa o nā kūlanakauhale nui he 50 o ka US ma nā pae hoʻohālikelike e like me nā mea make ma kēlā me kēia capita, mau mile o nā ala kaʻa kaʻa a me ka mahele o nā kamaʻāina e holo kaʻa e hana - no kēia metropolis, kahi hapaʻumi hapaʻumi o 1 pc
I kēia manawa, ua hoʻohui ʻia he mau mile mile o nā ala motika a me kahi kekeke metropolis / pedestrian czar ("ʻenekini hoʻoneʻe hele wāwae") i kahi hana piha piha. Eia nō naʻe ke manaʻo nei ka poʻe heʻe e holo ana i ka poʻe paikikala makemake ʻole ʻo San Antonio kahi kaiāulu kalaiwa e uluhua a hana pinepine ʻole i nā malihini kipa. Nā ala paikikala, huakaʻi paikikala mauna uila.
I kēia manawa pono i ka ʻĀpana Hana Nui e hoʻohana i kāna pūnaewele pūnaewele hou e hoʻomaopopo ai i ke kaona, ma waena o nā pilikia like ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi kahi e pono ai e kūkulu i kāna mau kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa e hiki mai ana, kahi kālā i hōʻoia ʻia e ka poʻe koho balota i loko o ka papahana hoʻopaʻa hoʻopaʻa 2017.
ʻO ke ola nui loa, i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo czar Timothy Hayes, ke komo ʻana mai nā kamaʻāina i ke koho ʻana o kekahi 4 a 6 mau kūlanakauhale a me nā kahawai o waena e ʻike pono nā mea holo kaʻa i nā ala paikikala hou.
Aia a Sepatemaba 30, hiki i kēlā me kēia mea ke hele i surveymonkey.com/r/SABikes e ʻike i kahi papa inoa o 21 i koho ʻia i nā alaloa a koho i nā mea a lākou e manaʻo ai he mea nui ia. Hāʻawi ʻia he hapalua miliona {kālā} no ka papahana hoʻomohala, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, kahi e kūkulu ai i ka hui ʻana o nā ala kaʻa kaʻa, ʻoki a pale ʻia hoʻi e nā aʻa, a me nā ala paka.
"ʻAʻole wau e lohe i nā mea haohao he nui," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Hayes i kahi leo leʻaleʻa e hoʻokele iā ia i nā manaʻo mai nā hoa holo kaʻa. Lawe ʻo ia i kahi paikikala e hana i kēlā me kēia kakahiaka ma luna o kahi patchwork o Flores Road sidewalks.
ʻO ke koho ma kahi e kūkulu a hoʻokohu paha i kahi kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa ʻaʻole e maʻalahi e like me ka hoʻoholo inā aia he mea kūʻai aku a me nā wahi kūpono i kahi e pono ai lākou e hele. ʻO ke kaona maʻamau nā kuleana o nā mea i kaupalena ʻia ma ke ala i wae ʻia, a makemake ʻole nā ʻoihana a me nā kamaʻāina e nalo i ke kaʻa kaʻaahi ma ke alanui i hoʻopilikia ʻia paha e kahi kaʻa kaʻa.
"E hana mākou i nā koho pono a kaulike hoʻi i nā mea āpau," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Hayes, he ʻenekini kīwila i hana ʻia ma ka makahiki 2019 mai loko mai o ka Division of Traffic & Capital Enhancements, i kapa ʻia i kēia manawa ʻo Public Works.
ʻO kekahi hana ʻē aʻe āna i manaʻo ai e ʻike ka noiʻi ʻana i ka ʻike ʻana i nā alanui e pono e kau ʻia ma luna o kahi “papa hoʻoliʻiliʻi kaumaha o ke ala nui,” ʻo ia hoʻi, e ʻokiʻoki ana i nā alanui ʻehā a ʻekolu i loko o ʻekolu mau ala me ka laina flip waena, kahi papa makemake ʻia i kekahi hiki i nā ʻāpana noiʻi pekelala ke hoʻoliʻiliʻi i nā ulia pōpilikia.
Ma waena o kekahi mau mea holo pōpilikia i hōʻeha ʻia ma San Antonio, ʻo ka hoʻolaha ʻana o kahi ana hou ʻaʻole i pono ka mahalo nui ʻia.
"Makemake au e like me ka nui o ka noiʻi a me nā loiloi, akā ʻaʻole nui ka neʻe," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Councilwoman Shirley Gonzales, kahi mea nona ka paikikala makemake e hoʻolālā i nā lā nui ma ka hapanui o ka maikaʻi o nā wahi. Noho ʻo ia i ke kōmike hoʻokele o ka ʻaha kūkā.
"Ua hoʻohoka maoli wau ma mua o ka hāʻawi ʻole ʻia ʻana o kēia (anamanaʻo pūnaewele) me ka ʻaha kūkā," i ʻōlelo ʻo Gonzales. "Kipaku ʻia ka poʻe limahana, a i koʻu mākaukau, ke hana ʻoe i kēlā mea loaʻa ʻole ka hopena nui iā ʻoe. ʻAʻole mākou i holomua i kekahi ʻano i loko o ke kikowaena o ke kaona. ”
ʻO Bryan Martin, vp o Bike San Antonio a me ka makua hoʻokumu o Bronko Bikes, nā mea kūkulu a kūʻai aku i nā paikikala uila, i kapa ʻia e like me ka holomua o ke kaona ma nā kaʻa paikikala "abysmal."
"Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i kahi metropolis e lawe i nā paikikala me ka manaʻo nui, e hele i Austin," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Martin ua ʻoluʻolu ʻo ia i ke ana ana akā ua hele mai nā mea holo kaʻa e wānana i nā ala "maunu a hoʻololi" mai ke kaona e pili ana i ke kau ʻana i nā kaʻa a me nā poʻe hele wāwae i mua o nā kaʻa.
I kulike ai me nā palapala ʻāina o Public Works a me nā palapala, 34 mau mile o ke kaona o nā "kaʻa" ma 2000 - ʻo ia hoʻi nā ala paikikala ma ke ala hele, nā ala i kahakaha ʻia e nā mea kuhikuhi akā naʻe me nā meheu i pena ʻia ma ke ala nui a me nā ala nunui i hoʻohana ʻia e nā poʻe hele wāwae. akā ʻaʻole ia e lilo i ʻāpana o ka ʻōnaehana paka o ke kaona. Ma ka 2004, ua ulu a 66 mile, a laila 136 mile i ka 2009.
I ka pau ʻana o ka hoʻolālā hopu uila i kēia manawa, i ka 2011, aia he 200 mile, ʻo ia hoʻi he 0.4 mile, ma ka maʻamau, no kēlā me kēia mile sq o San Antonio. ʻO ka lāhui āpau i waena o nā kūlanakauhale he 50 he nui loa he 4 hanana ia.
I kēia manawa, aia he 259 mile mile o nā ala, nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa a me nā ala.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gonzales ʻo "Public engineering" paha "kaumaha nui" a e wikiwiki paha ia i kāna hoʻoholo ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana inā hoʻohana ia i nā mea hoʻolālā kūlanakauhale ʻoluʻolu uila a me nā ʻenekini liʻiliʻi, nā mea i hana mua e ʻike pehea e hoʻokipa ai i nā kaʻa.
"Maopopo iaʻu he mea makemake nui ʻo Tim Hayes i ke kaʻa paikikala. ʻIke wau iā ia e kaʻa kaʻa puni ana i ke kūlanakauhale me kāna mau keiki, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia. “Eia naʻe he ʻenekinia ia a hoʻohana ʻo ia i kēlā aniani like loa i kāna koho ʻana. … Keʻike maʻalahi nei ʻo San Antonio e lohi i kēia mau mea āpau. Ua holomua maikaʻi mākou i nā makahiki i hala aku nei ma nā ala hele wāwae. ʻAʻole nui ma nā ala uila. ”
ʻO ka hope loa, ma loko o kahi ʻaha ʻo Metropolis Council e pili ana i nā hoʻolālā kipi e hoʻomohala i ka Broadway Hall, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Martin ʻaʻole pono nā mea kuleana e ʻike i ke kamaʻilio e like me "nā kānaka kaʻa me nā keke, nā kaʻa a me nā poʻe hele wāwae," a ʻo Metropolis Corridor "ʻaʻole pono e nānā i ka poʻe hele wāwae. i mau mea no nā kaʻa e kaʻa a puni. "
Ua loaʻa ka mahalo nui i ka ʻaha kūkā ʻo Ana Sandoval mai ka lehulehu o nā kaʻa i kēlā lā iā ia i noi aku ai i ke poʻo o ka ʻenekinia, ma hope o ka nānā ʻana i kahi mannequin elele elele elike me Broadway, "Loaʻa paha iā ʻoe kahi mannequin no ka mea e makemake ai he bisikikala?"
"Manaʻo wau aia kekahi kuhi ikaika (kaʻa) i kekahi o kēia mau hōʻike," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.
