A bold prediction for Cleveland in 20Twenty:  The core of our city will fully facilitate car free travel.  In the next 10 years, we must provide dedicated road space in the central city for bicycle-only travel.  In doing so, we revive small scale intra-city commerce and as a city we make a statement to our citizens and visitors that bicycle travel is the preferred mode.  
At miminum such actions will greatly reduce the cost of maintaining road surfaces.  But let's focus on higher aims.... (i) we will re-invigorate our city on the premise of valuing what was built by our city founders - a robust street car network connecting neighborhood business districts. (ii) a flat flat city like Cleveland lowers the barriers to the movement of goods and services; thus bicycle travel & cargo carrying is even more efficient (iii) small scale entreprenurial endeavors and networked cooperative style businesses can flourish when transportation costs are low.  currently Clevelanders spend 25% of income on transport.  What could we do with that money, how could we improve ourselves and our communities if there was no need for a personal automobile?

20Ten is the year of the decision.  The year Cleveland realizes that we must build on the gifts of our city to realize our future potential.  We must abandon the automobile and invest in people!
