Kip and Bill - First, you may not want to walk, but many cannot drive or should not drive. And some simply see walking as a healthy and pleasant way to get around. So please don't assume that providing for car transportation only is serving everyone. It is not.
I just joined hundreds, perhaps thousands downtown to watch the Procession of Species. It rained off and on most of the day. Downtown was full of people. We didn't melt and it looks like folks were having a great time. Virtually all of them walked several blocks, some walked many blocks to come to this event.
So it may not be something you want to do, and no one is saying you must. But let's make it possible for people to move around without a car. When you walk you actually experience the world in a different way. You can hear the birds, you might see your neighbor and visit a bit. It makes our community more inclusive and friendly to be able to walk safely.
