Off-the-Wall Ideas to Make Seattle Better
So crazy they just might work. The article discusses four ideas that could make Seattle better in the future, including a potential car-free city. These ideas were put forward by members of the Seattle-based Transit Riders Union and a member of the city's public transportation system.

However, there are accessibility issues to address, public transit funding, and public transit agencies would require billions of dollars to accommodate added riders. The author suggests that public transit could benefit from fewer collisions, fewer 911 dispatches, fewer visits to the ER, and more importantly that a total vehicle ban would not be feasible in Seattle. The idea also suggests that tipping, which was previously illegal in the US, could lead to a decrease in carbon emissions and air quality.
