3.6. Transformation of the Urban Environment
Car travel, and the reduction of it, is still the central objective of the strategy - the focus needs to change. It should be made clear that car travel is a deprioritised mode and that inconveniencing private car traffic is something that needs to be done. The end goal is, of course, modal shift to active and public transport modes. Therefore, let the objective be to prioritise the modes we want to see on our streets - it is the congestion in public transport that needs to be addressed.
The focus is clear throughout the document: for example, when it comes to modal shift, it is stated that car use needs to be reduced. This is far from enough - private cars need to be the very last mode of transport facilitated.
