Plain English Vision for SEQ - Stolen from Bogata

In understanding the Bogata transport system more as suggested by Tramtram, I came across their Vision for the City.

Quote?We want a city with more public space for children than for motor vehicles; a high population density and relatively short travel distances; people in public spaces; autonomy and freedom of movement for the children and the elderly; very low levels of noise and air pollution; small children walking out of home to the safety of pedestrian streets; homes with nearby stores, restaurants, movies and cultural activities; abundant parks, pedestrian streets, wide sidewalks, bicycle paths.?

It is in such plain english.  Some pictures/illustrations to go with it would be fantastic.  It is a vision to aspire to and a great litmus test for the current infrastructure being developed around SEQ?  Only projects that deliver on such a vision should be approved.

It was too good to just read and not post.

Half baked projects, have long term consequences ...

PR spin machines tend to add to document length;
Your'e not going to get a gov't statement on the crisp!  :is- :-t

That's not the only thing "stolen".
Translink looks like a ripoff of Translink.ca, and the translink swirly symbol looks like a ripoff of the US Department of Transport's symbol.

I don't mind what they copy; Let's hope they copy some good ideas and make them work!

While you are at Translink.ca, check out their cycling planner.
