What is a road diet?
Road Dieting is a tool employed by both Complete Streets and Vision Zero to create streets that are safer and more accommodating for all users.
Road dieting is the road planning tool that removes automotive space from the road, with the usual purpose of encouraging safer driving behavior and creating space for other roadway uses (Knapp et al., 2014).

Vision zero
Illustrated below, the road diet’s purpose is to slowly restrict vehicles by eliminating and/or restricting parking and traffic lanes.
Local council meetings?
In order to effectively participate in local council meetings, it is imperative to comprehend the vocabulary. There are a ton of organizations that fold in on one another that all push the anti-car rhetoric.
Except we are past rhetoric
We are at slowly altering our streets to take less vehicles.
We are adding carbon tax and other taxes to make driving them more expensive.
We are taking away parking spots for the motorist to place his vehicle.
We are making the green energy so expensive that manufacturing them is expensive. We are killing the economy to make de-growth the path.
We are creating the path to zero vehicles by 2030 and basically who knows about it?
