London Needs to Set Walking and Cycling Targets for 2012 Olympics

Michael Graham Richard,  22 July 2009, Canada: TreeHugger - Cars & Transportation Via Edie News
What You Can Measure You Can Improve - Cities lucky enough to host the Olympics have a rare opportunity to improve their infrastructure in a major way. London will host the games in 2012, and it's doing a lot of things right, but it seems like it could do more to make the city friendlier to cyclists and pedestrians (one of the weaknesses of the city's bid to the International Olympic Committee was public transportation). The decisions it makes now will have an impact for decades to come, so it's worth doing it right.
