BRING BACK THE RED BRICKS! OR, BETTER YET, COBBLESTONES!
BRICKS OR COBBLESTONES FOR CARS AND TRUCKS, ONE SMOOTH CONCRETE LANE ON EACH SIDE FOR BICYCLES!
MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN BLACK ASPHALT!
MAKE POTHOLES A THING OF THE PAST!
EASIER AND CHEAPER TO MAINTAIN! NO NEED TO HIRE CONTRACTORS TO REPLACE OUR STEETS EVERY TWO YEARS AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE! EASIER ACCESS TO PIPES BELOW THE STREET! NO MORE EXPENSIVE SNOWPLOWING!
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPTION, ESPECIALLY WITH COBBLESTONES! DARK SURFACES ABSORB LOTS OF HEAT, WHILE LIGHT SURFACES DO NOT.
HISTORIC STREETS IN A HISTORIC CITY!
SLOW DOWN THE GOD DAMN SPEEDERS! MAKE DRIVING A MULTI-TON VEHICLE IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT AS UNPLEASANT AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT DAMAGING THE VEHICLE!
IN THE BIG PICTURE, ASPHALT STREETS ARE A LOSING GAME, AN UN$U$TAINABLE BAD HABIT!
(At the rate the city's finances are headed, bricks and/or cobblestones may soon be our only option!)
