All the major roads are literally parking lots; I've walked to the grocery store faster (it's a ten minute walk) than the average speed of traffic on multiple occasions. There are buses here, but well, they're buses; no one really likes riding them and no one really knows where they go and/or how often they come.
But if Worcester was to follow the lead of cities like Washington, DC; and over 80 other cities across the country and start building its streetcar lines, you'd eliminate the need for a sizable chunk of parking... |
Just saying, but DC doesnt have streetcars, but we do have a subway that is packed during rush hour, and tons of parking garages beneath almost every building.
