Ukulahleka komgwaqo kungaba yinselelo kwezemvelo

Ukuntuleka komgwaqo kungaba yinkinga yezemvelo

Kule minyaka yokugcina ingxenye yekhulu lamashumi amabili, imigwaqo yabahamba ngezinyawo ibiyisisekelo esiphansi e-Indianapolis — okungenzeka ukuthi akusethusi enhlokodolobha yezimoto ezigijimayo - kodwa okwamanje lelo fa eliyigugu libuye limelele inkinga ebiza kakhulu yemvelo.

I-Indianapolis nayo ingacindezelwa kanzima ukuze iphumelele ezinhlosweni zayo zokusimama kuze kube yilapho kulula ukuthi abantu bapake izimoto zabo bahambe. Futhi lokho kudinga izindlela zomgwaqo.

Eziningi zazo.

Abahleli okwamanje baqhuba isitokwe sendlela eseceleni komgwaqo, futhi okutholwe kuqala kubonakala sengathi kuyethusa. Basho ukuthi ukwenza idolobha lihambeke ngokwengeziwe, kungabiza ngaphezu kwe- $ 1 billion.

Imigwaqo yokuhamba komgwaqo ihlala ingenalutho futhi ikhule ngaphezulu ku-Fall Creek Parkway naseCollege Avenue e-Indianapolis, ngoLwesibili, Agasti 20, 2020.

Inkinga ukuthiiningi le-Indianapolis, idolobha elinenhliziyo enkulu esikhaleni somhlaba kuneChicago, iPhiladelphia neDallas kungakhathalekile ukuthi izakhamuzi zalo zilinganiswe kanjani, lakhelwe izimoto, hhayi abantu.

Bangaphezu kuka-180,000 abantu shintshela eMarion County ngosuku lomsebenzi ojwayelekile. Futhi izakhamuzi zase-Indianapolis zihamba ngemoto eyengeziwe ngamamayela womuntu ngamunye kunesinye isikhala esikhulu sase-US esisemadolobheni, ngokuphendula imininingwane evela eMnyangweni Wezokuthutha wase-US.

Lokhu kungakhombisa isithiyo njengoba idolobha lizama ukwenza izinhloso zalo zokukhishwa kwekhabhoni - IMeya yase-Indianapolis uJoe Hogsett uthembisile ukukhishwa kwe-zero zero kaboni ngo-2050 - ikakhulukazi izakhamuzi zase-Indianapolis zikhipha amathani amaningi e-carbon dioxide ngomuntu ngamunye kunezakhamizi emadolobheni amaningi anesilinganiso esilinganayo, esifana neColumbus, Seattle neMilwaukee.

Impendulo? Kungadinga ukususa izimoto emgwaqweni.

Yize izimoto zishintshele kwimvelo eyengeziwe enobungani kwakamuva nje isikhathi eside, uhambo lwemoto kusabalwa ingxenye eyodwa kwezinhlanu kukho konke ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni yase-US - okwengeziwe, ngisho nangaphezu kokukhishwa okukhiqizwa ngokushisa amandla okubasa.

Amadolobha ahambekayo, noma nje amadolobha anengqalasizinda yabantu abazungeza futhi bangasebenzisi moto, athathwa njengempendulo yokwehlisa ushintsho lwesimo sezulu sendawo ukuthi, kwezinye izimo, kungenzeka isebenziseke kakhulu kunezimoto ezingama-hybrid noma amandla enuzi.

Abantu abasezindaweni ezihambekayo bahamba ngama-20% kuya ku-40% ephansi kunabantu abasezindaweni ezingahambeki. Uma yamukelwa ngezinga elikhulu, amadolobha ahambekayo angonga cishe ama-gigaton ama-5.5 wokukhishwa kwekhabhoni ngonyaka ka-2050.

Iziphathimandla zase-Indianapolis ziyazi ukuthi ukuhamba ngezinyawo kungahambisa idolobha phambili ngezinhloso zokusimama. Ngakho-ke kunezinhlelo eziningana zebanga elide ezisebenzayo ukwenza i-Indianapolis ifinyeleleke kalula kubahamba ngezinyawo, amabhayisikili nabagibeli bamabhasi.

Kepha ukwakhiwa kabusha kwemigwaqo kungumsebenzi onzima, obizayo futhi odla isikhathi - onamadola ayizigidi ezingamakhulu ambalwa ngonyaka ukwenza amaphrojekthi, akulula ukwenza ushintsho oluhlala njalo. Futhi ngenkathi idolobha lizama ukugcwalisa izikhala zemigwaqo eseceleni ezingakaze zakhiwe, izindlela ezindala zomgwaqo ziyagqashuka noma zilulaze, zidinga ukulungiswa njalo.

Muva nje, idolobha lithumele uhlu lwayo lokuqala ukuthola ukuqonda ukuthi mingaki imigwaqo edolobheni engenayo indlela yomgwaqo ngapha nangapha, imiphumela yayo engase iphume ekupheleni konyaka.

"Lokho kuyinselelo enkulu, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokushoda komthombo woxhaso ukuze kwehliswe lokho," kusho uDan Parker, umqondisi woMnyango Wezemisebenzi Yomphakathi kuleli dolobha. "Ngikholwa wukuthi uma sesiqedile ngalolu cwaningo, izindleko zokuthola imigwaqo yokuhamba ezindleleni kuzo zonke izindawo zedolobha ezingenazo zizoba ezigidigidini, hhayi ezigidini."

"Uma le misebenzi ingasheshe ixhaswe futhi ifezeke, kuzoba ngcono," kusho uKim Irwin, umqondisi omkhulu wenhlangano yokukhuthaza ukuhamba ngezinyawo i-Health By Design nowayengumphathi wephrojekthi wohlelo lwabahamba ngezinyawo lwedolobha kanye nesifunda.

“Kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukuhamba kukodwa nakho kubalulekile, ngingasho, kuyisisekelo sendlela yokuhambahamba, ”kusho u-Irwin. “Akukhona ukuthi ukuba nemoto kuyinto embi kakhulu, njalo kuzoba nendawo yezimoto. Kodwa uma sakha idolobha lethu ngendlela yokuthi konke ngaphandle kwemoto kuyinto elandelwayo, kuyingozi impela. ”

'Isikhathi esigxile ezimotweni'

Bangaphezu kuka-92% abagibeli abahamba ngezimoto endaweni yase-Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, ngokusho komnyango wezokuthutha waseMelika. Cishe u-1.6% uhamba ngokuhamba ngezinyawo.

Lezi zinombolo zingahle zihlangane neqiniso lokuthi ngaphandle kwezindawo ezithile zedolobha njengeDowntown, i-Indianapolis akulula kakhulu ukuhamba ngazo.

Engxenyeni yesibili yekhulu lama-1970, leli dolobha lasungulwa ikakhulu kucatshangelwa izimoto, kusho uClarke Kahlo, owayesebenza njengecebo ledolobha elide e-Indianapolis ngawo-80, 90s no-XNUMXs.

"Leyo minyaka kwakuyisikhathi esigxile ezimotweni, nokunwetshwa kwamadolobha, iningi lawo lalizokwenzeka ngaphandle kosizo lokuthi kufakwe izindlela zomgwaqo," kusho uKahlo. "Bekuyisikhathi esihle nje sokuthuthukiswa komhlaba eMarion County."

Izikhukhula:Izakhiwo ezingu-113,000 ezingaphezulu zingaba sengozini yezikhukhula e-Indiana kunalokho obekucatshangwa ngaphambili, kusho umbiko

Leyo yingxenye yomqondo wokuthi i-Indianapolis, uma iqhathaniswa nemizi ehlukene yezakhamuzi ezifanayo, inkulu kakhulu. Ngaphezulu kwamakhilomitha-skwele angama-360, leli dolobha linemigwaqo engamakhilomitha ayi-8,400, kusho uParker - ingxenye yesithathu yemigwaqo ehlukahlukene i-INDOT yengamela isimo sakho esiphelele.

Ukusabalala kwedolobha kwenza kube nzima ukunakekela yonke imigwaqo, izindlela zomgwaqo nezingqalasizinda ezahlukahlukene okufanele zigcinwe, kushiwo uFrank Nierzwicki, umhleli wedolobha onolwazi lobungcweti lweminyaka engama-30 esebenza e-Indiana.

"Uma ubheka ukulinganiswa komhlaba kwe- (Indianapolis), mkhulu impela," kusho uNierzwicki, ofundisa ngokwengeziwe ukukhula kwedolobha e-Indiana College. "Cishe yisifunda sonke."

Imigwaqo ehamba eceleni:Le mephu iveza ukungabi bikho kwengqalasizinda ephephile yabahamba ngezinyawo eCentral Indiana

Ukubekwa eqhulwini komgwaqo kuleli dolobha ngokwesiko kukhethe izindawo zabamhlophe nezicebile, kukhulunywa ngePaula Brooks, i-Environmental Well yokuba yinxusa loMkhandlu Wezemvelo waseHoosier.

"Lezi zakhamizi ezihlala kulezi zindawo, ziyayazi indlela yokuzivikela, zinabantu abazithola beyizingcweti kwezobunjiniyela nokwakhiwa kwepanorama abangahle basebenze ngokwakhiwa komakhelwane bese benza izingqinamba," kusho uBrooks okukhulunyiwe. “Kodwa-ke uma kungenzeka ukuthi awu… umane uthola noma ngabe ungatholakalaphi. Mina, kufana nemvuthu. ”

IBrooks inokukhathazeka okuthile ngezindawo eziseduze ne-Indiana Avenue noMartin Luther King Jr. Avenue, indawo ayishilo uvame ukubona imigwaqo emincane enezinsika noma izigxobo ezonakele phakathi nendawo. Ukucabanga ngobuningi bezimoto ezisebenzisa le migwaqo ukungena kuthelawayeka, kuyingozi kwezokuphepha, esho - nenye eshiye ngesikhathi izimoto zifika lapha kuqala.

"Kuyinkinga yokwakhiwa," kusho uBrooks. "Ukuzivumelanisa nezimo kwabagibeli, cishe bonke abahlala eHamilton County, ukuze bakwazi ukufika maphakathi nezwe ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka, kudlule izakhamizi zethu."

Yize kunjalo, i-Indianapolis inconyiwe njengedolobha elikhulu ebelihlelwe ngaphambilini, kusho uNierzwicki. Ngandlela thile kubonakala ngokwesibonelo emadolobheni ehlukene kulo lonke izwe, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokukhula kwamuva.

"Idumela lase-Indianapolis linokungeneka futhi lingeneke kalula impela uma kubhekwa abahleli esifundazweni sase-Indiana," kusho uNierzwicki.

Izithuthukisi zamanje ezisedolobheni

Muva nje, idolobha selenze inqubekela phambili ezindaweni ezandayo zabahamba ngezinyawo, abagibeli bamabhayisikili nabagibeli bamabhasi ukuzungeza.

Ukuthokozela okuphawulekayo kwabahamba ngezinyawo nabahamba ngebhayisikili kube yiMonon Path, okuthi ngesizathu sokuthi iminyaka yamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye yelula nge-Indianapolis, Carmel naseWestfield.

Kwathi ngo-2013, kwavulwa iCultural Path, exhuma izifunda eziyisithupha ezisenkabeni yedolobha i-Indianapolis ngendlela yokuhamba ngezinyawo nokuhamba ngebhayisikili. Ngasekuqaleni kwalezi zinyanga eziyi-12, okungenzi-nzuzo kuyaphendulwa ngendlela umemezele izandiso ezimbili eduze neLucas Oil Stadium neMadam Walker Legacy Middle.

Nezinyanga zokugcina eziyi-12, i-IndyGo wethule iRed Line, umzila wayo wokuqala webhasi osheshayo nohlelo lwamabhasi angu-13.1 olusuka ku-66th Avenue uye eKolishi lase-Indianapolis. Izinhlobo ezimbili zamabhasi, iBlue Line nePurple Line, kulindeleke ukuthi ziqale ukusebenza eminyakeni ezayo.

U-Irwin ubalule lezi zinhlobo zamabhasi ezisizile edolobheni, kepha hhayi abagibeli bamabhasi kuphela.

“Okubaluleke kakhulu maqondana nezinkinga zokuhamba ngebhasi ngokushesha, engikholwa ukuthi akunakucatshangelwa kangako ngoba kufanele, ngokombono wethu, ukuthi kubaluleke kanjani lokho ngokwenza ngcono ingqalasizinda yokuhamba eduze komgwaqo, ”Kusho u-Irwin. "Okuwukuphela kwemali emikhulu esiyibonile kuleli dolobha elikhulu lokuhamba kalula kungenxa yeCrimson Line."

Kusukela ngo-2016, leli dolobha libuye lanezela ngemizila yamabhayisikili engamakhilomitha angama-26, imizila engamamayela angu-31 namakhilomitha angaphezu kwama-87 ezindleleni, okhulumela idolobha okukhulunywe ngaye.

Kulezi zinyanga eziyi-12, leli dolobha selabe amadola ayizigidi eziyi-134 ezinhlelweni ezifana nokwelula indlela iPennsy nokufaka ibhuloho eliphakeme eMonon eduze nomgwaqo u-Avenue wesishiyagalombili.

Kodwa-ke kunomsebenzi omningi kakhulu okufanele wenziwe.

Uhlelo lwe-Indy Strikes, idokhumenti yokuhlela ibanga elide ledolobha elixuba izinhloso zokuhambahamba, ukuhamba ngebhayisikili, nezokuthutha zomphakathi, luchaza izinhlelo ezinkulu kunezingama-460 okumele zifezwe ngaphakathi kwedolobha elikhulu, kusukela ekwakhiweni komgwaqo okusha kuze kwakhiwe imigwaqo emisha kanye nokwenza ngcono imigwaqo yamanje nge izindlela zomgwaqo nemizila yamabhayisikili.

“Sethemba ukuthi sizokwenza kube lula ngabantu ukuhamba ngezimoto ezingezona ezezimoto,” kusho uDaniel Hedglin, umhleli omkhulu wezokwakha imininingwane emisha eDivision of Metropolitan Improvement. "Ukwakhiwa okuhle kungasusa abantu basuke, 'Ngigxile ekugibeleni ibhayisikili kodwa nginovalo oluncane,' kuya 'Ngigxile ebhayisikilini futhi ngizokukwenza.'”

Lezi zithuthukisi kufanele zibekwe eqhulwini ezindaweni ezifuna kakhulu, kusho uBrooks, ekhomba izingwadule zokudla zase-Indianapolis noma izindawo lapho abantu abathile kungenzeka ukuthi mancane amathuba okuba bakwazi ukuthenga imoto.

"Kumele kucatshangwe kabanzi ukuthi impahla yethu yabelwa insiza bani," kusho uBrooks. “Uma ukwazi ukuhambahamba endaweni ethile noma amabhulokhi amabili bese unquma ukuthi ufuna ini, ngeke ushayele. Kodwa-ke kubantu abaningi ezindaweni eziningi, lelo akulona ithuba. ”

NgoLwesibili, i-IndyGo yethule ukuthi kungenzeka susa izitobhi zamabhasi ezingaphezu kwama-500 ekuzameni ukwenza uhambo lwebhasi lube nobungani obungeziwe emvelweni, yize imizila ingahlala ingashintshiwe. Ukuguqulwa okuningi kungaba seduze kwedolobha ezinhlangothini ezisenyakatho nasempumalanga.

'Ushintsho olukhulu ekusebenziseni izinto eziza kuqala'

Ukuvuselelwa kwengqalasizinda kubalulekile, kepha kuyabiza ngokwengeziwe.

Ukugcinwa kukodwa kungathatha ingxenye enkulu yemali yokuhamba yedolobha. Isilinganiso sika-2016 sikhombisa ukuthi kungenzeka kubiza ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingama- $ 750 ukumane sithwale ingqalasizinda yabahamba ngezinyawo siye esimeni sokubuyiselwa okuhle.

Ngokuhlukile, imali yazo zonke izinhlelo zokuhamba ngo-2020 yayingu- $ 134 million.

"Awusoze waba nekhono lokwenza isilinganiso sezinto ezithintekayo empeleni ezifunwa ukuhamba nxazonke futhi ungasebenzisi ushintsho olukhulu ekusebenziseni izinto eziza kuqala," kusho u-Irwin. "Ngakho-ke kunokukhathazeka okungukuthi, uma sikhuluma iqiniso, akubhekwana nakho njengokwanele, nokuwukuntuleka kwemali etholakala ngokomlando nokwakhiwa ukuze kwenziwe lokho okudingekayo."

Futhi noma ngezimali lezi zinhlelo zithatha isikhathi, imvamisa isikhathi eside. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi abahleli bamadolobha amakhulu akusibo abenza izinqumo, uNierzwicki oshiwo - yizikhulu ezikhethiwe.

Uthe: "Uma ukuphatha okukodwa kukhula kube ukuphatha okukodwa, izinto eziza kuqala kungenzeka zishintshile."

Abanye bathi ukuthengisa izimoto zikagesi kungenye yezindlela zokwehlisa ukukhishwa ngaphandle kwenani elengeziwe lokukhula kwengqalasizinda. Kodwa-ke imigwaqo ehlekayo iza nezinye izinzuzo, kusho uKevin Kastner, ummeli wengqalasizinda ophilayo. Kokunye, kunempilo kakhulu. Kepha ngokuqinisekile into eyodwa abakhi abafisa ukuyibona, njengoba abantu ngamunye bedinga ukuhlala endaweni abazohamba kuyo.

"Sizoba nazo zonke izimoto zikagesi esizifisayo, noma kunjalo kuzoba yimoto kuphela," kusho uKastner. "Izimoto ezingaphansi kakhulu esizisebenzisayo nsuku zonke, ziphakeme kakhulu emhlabeni."

Mhlawumbe okunye kokulungiswa okuhle kakhulu esikhathini sakamuva, u-Irwin uthi, kube wukushintsha kwesiko. Izakhamizi zokugcina zinolwazi oluthe xaxa lwamaphuzu ezemvelo nenhlalakahle kunangesiko lawo, usho njalo, nakulo lonke ubhadane lwe-COVID-19 lezi zinkinga zesistimu sezivele kakhulu.

Ngenkathi ama-Hooers ama-1000 ephendukela ekukhoselweni endaweni le entwasahlobo futhi nezimoto zashiya imigwaqo, i-Indianapolis inamakhono 38% kwehle ukungcoliswa komoya ezinyangeni ezimbalwa. Lokhu kuqinisekisile abantu abaningi, u-Irwin ukhulume, ukuthi kungancipha kanjani ngokushesha nangokuphumelelayo lapho abantu benciphisa isikhathi sabo sokushayela.

"Siqaphele izithuthukisi zomoya osezingeni eliphakeme emhlabeni wonke," kusho u-Irwin. "Ukuvalwa kwangaphambi kwesikhathi kusiqinisekisile empeleni ngaphakathi esibhakabhakeni ngendlela engase ihluke ngokuphelele."
