It can be argued that through the way vehicles were forced to change in the 1970s and '80s, the federal government turned the American public on to SUVs. Now it's looking for ways to wean us off that addiction—so quickly that it might affect the improvements we've made in safety in recent years.
Streets can and must be more than just a place for the movement and storage of private motor vehicles. The urban street of the 21st century will be a ?complete street,? accommodating pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders alike.
