Ukuphoswa kwendlela kunokuba ngumceli mngeni kwindalo esingqongileyo

Ukungabikho kwendlela yokuhamba ecaleni kunokuba yingxaki yokusingqongileyo

Kule nxalenye yokugqibela yenkulungwane yamashumi amabini, iipavumente bezisezantsi e-Indianapolis — nto leyo mhlawumbi ingothusiyo kwimidyarho yeemoto ezibalekayo - kodwa okwangoku eli lifa lixabisekileyo limele ukuba linengxaki yexabiso lokusingqongileyo.

I-Indianapolis inokucinezelwa nzima ukuba iphumelele kwiinjongo zayo zokuzinza kude kube lula ngabantu ukuba bapake izithuthi zabo kwaye bahambe. Kwaye oko kufuna iipavumente.

Uninzi lwabo.

Abacwangcisi ngalo mzuzu baqhuba isitokhwe sendlela esecaleni kwendlela, kwaye iziphumo zokuqala zibonakala zinzima. Ukwenza ukuba le dolophu ihambeke ngakumbi, batsho, inokuxabisa ngaphezulu kwe-1 yezigidigidi zeedola.

Iipavumente zihlala zingenanto kwaye zikhule ngaphezulu kwi-Fall Creek Parkway kunye neAvenue Avenue e-Indianapolis, ngoLwesibini, nge-20 Agasti 2020.

Umcimbi ngulouninzi lwe-Indianapolis, isixeko esineziqu esineentliziyo ezinkulu kwindawo yomhlaba kuneChicago, Philadelphia neDallas ngaphandle komlinganiso wabemi bayo, yayakhelwe izithuthi, hayi abantu.

Bangaphezu kwe-180,000 abantu hamba uye eMarion County ngosuku lomsebenzi oqhelekileyo. Kwaye abahlali baseIndiapolis baqhuba iimayile zemoto ezingaphezulu komntu ngaphezulu kwesinye isithuba esikhulu sasezidolophini zaseMelika, ukuphendula idatha evela kwiSebe lezoThutho laseMelika.

Oku kungabonisa umqobo njengoko idolophu izama ukwenza iinjongo zayo zokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni- Usodolophu wase-Indianapolis uJoe Hogsett uthembisile ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwi-zero ngo-2050 - ngakumbi abahlali abajonga i-Indianapolis bayaphuma iitoni ezingaphezulu zecarbon dioxide ngomntu ngamnye kunabahlali kwiidolophu ezininzi ezinemilinganiselo efanayo, efana neColumbus, Seattle neMilwaukee.

Impendulo? Kuya kufuna ukufumana izithuthi esitratweni.

Nangona izithuthi zitshintshile kwimeko eyongezelelekileyo enobuntu kutshanje, uhambo lwemoto isengumbali wesihlanu kuko konke ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni yase-US-okongeziweyo, nkqu, kunokhutshwa okukhutshwa kukutsha kwezibaso zamandla.

Iidolophu ezinokuhamba, okanye nje izixeko ezinezibonelelo ezilungiselelwe abantu ukuba bajikeleze kwaye bangasebenzisi moto, zithathwa njengempendulo yokunciphisa utshintsho lwemozulu yendawo, kwezinye iimeko, inokusebenza ngakumbi kunezithuthi ezingumxube okanye amandla enyukliya.

Abantu abakwindawo ezinokuhamba baqhuba iipesenti ezingama-20 ukuya kuma-40% ezantsi kunabantu abakwindawo ezingahambekiyo. Ukuba yamkelwe kwinqanaba elikhulu, izixeko ezinokuhamba zingonga kangange-5.5 gigatons zokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni ngowama-2050.

Amagosa e-Indianapolis ayazi ukuba ukuhamba kungasusa isixeko phambili kwiinjongo zokuzinza. Ke izicwangciso ezininzi zexesha elide zikwimisebenzi yokwenza i-Indianapolis ifikeleleke ngakumbi kubahambi, iibhayisekile kunye nabagibeli beebhasi.

Kodwa ukwakha izitalato ngumsebenzi onzima, oxabisa ixesha elininzi- unezigidi ezilikhulu kuphela zeedola ngonyaka kwiiprojekthi, akukho lula ukwenza utshintsho oluhlala luhleli. Kwaye ngelixa isixeko sizama ukuvala izikhewu zeendlela ezingazange zakhiwe, iipavumente ezindala ziyaqhekeka okanye zijonge, ezifuna ukulungiswa rhoqo.

Kutshanje, isixeko sigunyazise uluhlu lwaso lokuqala lokuqonda ukuba zingaphi izitalato esixekweni ezingenandlela yokuhamba ngapha nangapha, iziphumo zazo ezinokuthi ziphume ekupheleni kwalo nyaka.

"Lowo ngumceli mngeni omkhulu, ikakhulu ngenxa yokunqongophala komthombo wenkxaso mali," utshilo uDan Parker, umlawuli weSebe leMisebenzi yoLuntu yesixeko. "Ndiyakholelwa ukuba xa sigqibile kwesi sifundo, indleko zokuhamba ezindleleni kuzo zonke iindawo zedolophu ezingenazo izakuba kwizigidi ngezigidi, hayi kwizigidi."

"Ngokukhawuleza ukuba ezi projekthi zingaxhaswa ngemali kwaye zifezekiswe, kokukhona kungcono," utshilo uKim Irwin, umlawuli olawulayo wombutho wokuhamba ngokuhambahamba Health Health Design kunye nowayengumphathi weprojekthi yesixeko kunye nesicwangciso sabahambi ngeenyawo.

Kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukuhamba ngokwako kubalulekile, ndingatsho, sisiseko sendlela esihamba ngayo, utshilo u-Irwin. “Ayikuko ukuba nemoto yinto embi, kuhlala kukho indawo yeemoto. Kodwa xa sisakhe isixeko ngendlela yokuba yonke into ngaphandle kwemoto siyicinge emva, kuyingozi. ”

'Ixesha elijolise kwimoto'

Ngaphezulu kwama-92% abakhweli abahamba ngenqwelo-mafutha kwindawo yase-Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, ngokwesebe lezothutho lase-US. Malunga ne-1.6% yokuhambahamba.

La manani anokuba nento yokwenza nento yokuba ngaphandle kweendawo ezithile zesixeko ezinje ngeDowntown, i-Indianapolis akukho lula ukuhamba ngayo.

Kwisiqingatha sesibini senkulungwane yamashumi amabini, isixeko saphuhliswa ubukhulu becala sineemoto engqondweni, utshilo uClarke Kahlo, owayesebenza njengomcwangcisi wesixeko ekude e-Indianapolis ngeminyaka yoo-1970, 80 kunye nama-90.

"Leyo yayilixesha elijolise kwimoto, kunye nokwandiswa kweedolophu, uninzi lwayo lwalunokwenzeka ngaphandle kwesibonelelo sokufakwa kweendlela," utshilo uKahlo. "Yayilixesha nje eliqaqambileyo lokuphuhliswa komhlaba eMarion County."

Umkhukula:Iipropathi ezingama-113,000 ngaphezulu zinokuba semngciphekweni wezikhukula eIndiana kunokuba bekucingwa ngaphambili, ingxelo ithi

Leyo yinxalenye yesizathu sokuba i-Indianapolis, xa ithelekiswa nezixeko ezahlukeneyo zabemi, inkulu kakhulu. Ngaphezulu kwe-360 sq. M, idolophu ine-8,400 yeemayile zendlela, uParker ukhankanyile-isinye kwisithathu seendlela zezitrato i-INDOT eyongamela ilizwe lakho elipheleleyo.

Isixeko sasedolophini sikwenza kube nzima ukugcina ukubekeka esweni kwazo zonke iindlela, iipavumente kunye neziseko zophuhliso ezahlukeneyo ekufuneka zigcinwe, utshilo uFrank Nierzwicki, umcwangcisi wesixeko oneminyaka engama-30 yobungcali esebenza eIndiana.

"Xa ujonga umlinganiso womhlaba we (Indianapolis), mkhulu kakhulu," utshilo uNierzwicki, ofundisa ngokukhula kwesixeko kwiKholeji yaseIndiana. Malunga nommandla uphela. ”

Ukubekwa phambili kwendlela yasedolophini ngokwesiko kukhethe abelungu nabazizityebi, wakhankanya uPaula Brooks, Ubume beNdawo yokusiNgqongileyo kuba liLungu leBhunga lezeNdalo leHoosier.

"Aba bahlali bahlala kwezi ndawo, bayayazi indlela yokuzithethelela, banabantu abazifumana bengabachwephesha kwezobunjineli kunye noyilo lwe-panorama abanokusebenza ngokwakhiwa kobumelwane kunye nokwenza imicimbi," utshilo uBrooks. okhankanyiweyo. “Nangona kunjalo ukuba akwenzi… ufumanisa nje nokuba uza kufumana ntoni. Kwelam icala, lifana neemvuthuluka. ”

I-Brooks inenkxalabo ethile kwimimandla esecaleni kweIndiana Avenue kunye noMartin Luther King Jr. Avenue, indawo athe wayikhankanya uhlala ebona iindlela zendlela ezinesiporo kunye neepali ezonakeleyo embindini. Ukucinga ngobuninzi bezithuthi ezisebenzisa ezi ndlela ukungena kuhola wendlela, kuyingozi kwezokhuseleko, utshilo-kwaye enye ishiyeke kwixesha apho izithuthi zifike kuqala apha.

"Yinkxalabo yolwakhiwo," utshilo uBrooks. "Ukuba bhetyebhetye kwabahambi, phantse bonke abahlala eHamilton County, ukuze babe nakho ukufikelela kumazibuko ngokukhawuleza, kuye kwaba yinto ephambili kubemi bethu."

Nangona kunjalo, i-Indianapolis idunyisiwe njenge-metropolis esele icwangcisiwe, u-Nierzwicki ukhankanyiwe. Ngandlela thile kubonakala ngokomzekelo kwizixeko ezahlukileyo kulo lonke ilizwe, ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yokukhula kwamva nje.

"Idumela lase-Indianapolis linokuhamba kwaye lingeneka ngokuqinisekileyo licingelwa ngokubhekisele kubo bonke abacwangcisi abakwiphondo lase-Indiana," utshilo uNierzwicki.

Ukuphuculwa kwangoku edolophini

Kutshanje, idolophu yenze inkqubela kwiindawo ezonyukayo zabahambi, abakhweli beebhayisikile kunye nabagibeli bebhasi.

Umtsalane obalulekileyo wabahambi kunye nowebhayisikile ibiyiNdlela ye-Monon, ethe ngenxa yesizathu sokuba i-Nineties yolule nge-Indianapolis, eKarmele naseWestfield.

Ke ngo-2013, kwavulwa iNdlela yeNkcubeko, idibanisa izithili ezintandathu edolophini i-Indianapolis ngeendlela ezihamba umgama oziikhilomitha ezisibhozo nokuhamba ngeebhayisikile. Kwangoko kule nyanga ili-12, into engenzi nzuzo iyaphendula ngendlela ubhengeze izandiso ezibini kufutshane neLucas Oil Stadium kunye neMadam Walker Legacy Middle.

Kwaye iinyanga ezili-12 zokugqibela, i-IndyGo yaqalisa iRed Line, indlela yokuqala yebhasi ehamba ngokukhawuleza kunye nenkqubo yebhasi ye-13.1-mile ukusuka kwi-66th Avenue ukuya kwiKholeji yase-Indianapolis. Ezinye iintlobo zeebhasi, i-Blue Line kunye ne-Purple Line, kulindeleke ukuba ziqale inkonzo kule minyaka izayo.

U-Irwin ukhankanye ezi ntlobo zeebhasi ziluncedo edolophini, nangona kunjalo hayi kubagibeli beebhasi kuphela.

“Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu ngokubhekisele kwiindlela ezihamba ngokukhawuleza zebhasi, endikholelwa ukuba ayifumani ngqwalaselo ingako kuba kufanelekile ngokokubona kwethu, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba ibiyindlela yokuphucula iziseko zokuhamba kufutshane nendlela ecaleni kwendlela, ”U-Irwin ukhankanyile. "Olunye lolona tofelo lwemali lukhulu silibonileyo kwesi sixeko sikhulu sokuhamba ngokuhamba kungenxa yeCrimson Line."

Ukusukela ngo-2016, le dolophu yongeze iikhilomitha ezingama-26 zemizila yezithuthuthu, i-31 yeemayile zendlela kunye neekhilomitha ezingaphezulu kwe-87 yeendlela, isithethi sedolophu ekhankanyiweyo.

Kule nyanga zili-12, le dolophu yabele i-134 yezigidi zeedola kumalinge afana nokwandisa umendo we-Pennsy kunye nokubeka ibhulorho ephakanyisiweyo kwindlela ye-Monon kufutshane ne-Avenue yesibhozo enqumlayo.

Nangona kunjalo mkhulu umsebenzi ekufuneka wenziwe.

Isicwangciso se-Indy Strikes, idrafti ekumgama omde edolophini edibanisa ukuhamba, ukuhamba ngeebhayisikile, kunye neenjongo zothutho lukawonkewonke, icacisa amanyathelo angaphezu kwama-460 ekufuneka enziwe kwimetropolis, ukusuka kuphuhliso lwesitrato esitsha ukwakha ulondolozo lwendalo kunye nokuphucula iindlela zangoku kunye Iipavumente kunye neendlela zebhayisekile.

“Siyathemba ukuba sizakwenza lula ukuba abantu bahambe ngeendlela ezingezozomoto,” utshilo uDaniel Hedglin, umcwangcisi omkhulu wedatha kunye nezinto ezintsha kwiCandelo loPhuculo lweMetropolitan. Uyilo olulungileyo lunokususa abantu, 'Ndijonge ukukhwela ibhayisikile kodwa ndiyoyika,' 'Ndijonge ukukhwela ibhayisikile kwaye ndiza kuyenza.' ”

Olu phuculo kufuneka lubekwe phambili kwiindawo ezifuna zona kakhulu, i-Brooks ikhankanyiwe, ibhekisa kwiintlango zokutya zase-Indianapolis okanye kwiindawo apho abantu banamathuba amancinci okuba bafumane imoto.

"Kufuneka kucingelwe ngakumbi ukuba ngubani owabelwa iinkonzo asethi," utshilo uBrooks. “Xa unokuhambahamba ibhloko okanye iibhloko ezimbini kwaye uthathe isigqibo sokuba ufuna ntoni, awuyi kuqhuba. Kodwa ke kubantu abaninzi kwiindawo ezininzi, elo asilothuba. ”

NgoLwesibini, i-IndyGo yazisa ukuba kunokwenzeka susa iindawo zokumisa iibhasi ezingaphezu kwama-500 xa uzama ukwenza uhambo lwebhasi ulunge ngakumbi kwindalo, nangona iindlela zingahlala zingatshintshi. Uninzi lotshintsho lunokuba kufutshane nedolophu kumantla nasempuma.

'Utshintsho olukhulu kwizinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka kwinkcitho'

Uhlaziyo lwezixhobo lubalulekile, nangona kunjalo zixabiso.

Ukugcinwa kukodwa kungathatha isixa esikhulu semali yokuhamba yedolophu. Uqikelelo luka-2016 lubonisa ukuba kunokwenzeka Ixabise ngaphezulu kwe- $ 750 yezigidi Ukuhambisa nje iziseko zedolophu zabahambi ngenyawo ukuya kwimeko yokubuyiselwa okuhle.

Ngokwahlukileyo, imali yawo onke amanyathelo okuhamba ngo-2020 yayizi- $ 134 yezigidi.

"Awunakuba nakho ukubanako ukwenza ubungakanani befuthe elifunekayo lokuhamba ngokujikelezayo kwaye ungasebenzisi olona tshintsho lubalulekileyo kwinkcitho," utshilo u-Irwin. "Ke ngoko kukho eyona nkxalabo yokuba, inyani, ayithethiswa ngokwaneleyo, eyimbali kunye nokunqongophala kwemali efikelelekayo ukwenza oko kufunekayo."

Kwaye ngenkxaso mali la manyathelo athatha ixesha, ngokubanzi ixesha elide. Kubalulekile ukugcina engqondweni ukuba abacwangcisi be-metropolis ayizizo ezenza ukhetho, i-Nierzwicki ikhankanyiwe-ngamagosa anyuliweyo.

Uthe xa ulawulo olunye lukhula lube lolunye ulawulo, utshilo, "izinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka zinokulungiswa."

Abanye bathi ukuthengisa iimoto zombane yenye yeendlela zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa ngaphandle kwexabiso elongeziweyo lokukhula kwezixhobo. Nangona kunjalo izitrato ezihambahambayo ziza nezinye izibonelelo, ukhankanyile uKevin Kastner, igqwetha leziseko zophuhliso. Kwenye, isempilweni ngakumbi. Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo yinto enye eyakhiwayo ngabakhi ukuyibona, njengoko abantu ngabanye befuna ukuhlala kwindawo abaya kuhamba kuyo.

"Siza kuba nazo zonke iimoto zombane esinqwenela zona, nangona kunjalo izakuba yimoto kuphela," utshilo uKastner. Zincinci kakhulu iinqwelo-mafutha esizisebenzisa yonke imihla, kokukhona kuphakama umhlaba.

Ngokunokwenzeka lolunye lolona hlengahlengiso lubalaseleyo kutshanje, u-Irwin uthi, lutshintsho kwinkcubeko. Abemi bokugqibela banolwazi olongezelelekileyo ngamanqaku okusingqongileyo kunye nokuhlala kakuhle kunangaphambili, utshilo, kwaye kulo lonke ubhubhane we-COVID-19 le micimbi yenkqubo ifike kakhulu.

Xa i-1000's ye-Hoosiers yajika yaya kwindawo yokuhlala kule ntwasahlobo kwaye izithuthi zahlala zingekho ezindleleni, i-Indianapolis inezakhono Ukuhla kongcoliseko lomoya ngama-38% kwisithuba seenyanga. Oku kuqinisekisile abantu abaninzi, u-Irwin ukhankanyile, indlela ezikhutshwa ngayo ngokukhawuleza nangokuphumelelayo ezinokuncitshiswa xa abantu behlisa ixesha labo lokuqhuba.

"Siqaphele izincedisi zomoya ophezulu kwihlabathi jikelele," utshilo u-Irwin. "Ukuvalwa kwangoko kusiqinisekisile esibhakabhakeni ngendlela enokwahluka ngayo."
