<DIV><FONT size=4>Perhaps it time for the city of Moscow to seriously consider
becoming a city that strongly encourages walking and cycling not only as healthy
recreation but as important transportation alternatives.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>I lived in California during the two major gasoline shortages
in the 1970s. The gist of the content of the article whose URL is given
above was also true then. There was a tremendous upswing in the numbers of
people who cycled to work, many of them several miles.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Of interest to the City of Moscow was the number of cities at
that time that took sometimes drastic steps to become pedestrian, skate, and
bicycle friendly. Ordinances were enacted and polices changed, especially
in traffic enforcement and related enforcement activities. Carefully
crafted plans, ordinances, and enforcement policies have many benefits for
families and can enhance the quality of life for a city.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>An interesting byproduct of the increased traffic law
enforcement was an upswing in the number of drug arrests stemming from
observations made during these traffic stops.</FONT></DIV><FONT size=4>
