For the past two decades. New York has been an inspiration to other American cities. Yes, New York had a lot of crime, but somehow it also still had neigh neighborhoods, and a central area for walking. Lately, though, as far as the pedestrian （行人） issues go. New York is acting more like the rest of America, and the rest of America is acting more like the once-inspiring New York.  

As a New Yorker who has spent two years researching roads and transportation across the United States, 1 am saddened lo see our city falling behind places like downtown Albuquerque, where one-way streets have become more pedestrian-friendly two-way streets, and car lanes are replaced by bike lanes, with bike racks everywhere. Then there is Grand Rapids, Midi. , which has a walk-able downtown with purposely limited parking and is home to a new bus square. In Indianapolis, an urban walking and biking road will soon link inner-city neighborhoods something New York certainly hasn't tried.  

We have lost our golden pedestrian touch in New York mostly because we still think about traffic as though it were 1950, and we needed Robert Moses to plow a few giant freeways through town to get the cars moving again. But the fact is that more roads equal more traffic. New Yorkers always find good reasons to drive. Public transportation is dirty, time-consuming, unsafe. Walking takes too long. The children will be late for school. But choosing the car is no longer safe ― for your children who already don’t get enough exercise, for anyone’s lungs or for the future of New York as a livable place. We’ve already lost a lot of New York to traffic. If New Yorkers don’t get out of their cars soon, the city’s future residents won’t have a reason to.
