| 18:35.34 | spangborn | I'm glad we just keep widening I-15, which has been shown to do effectively nothing |
| 18:35.47 | spangborn | instead of fixing the actual problem of too damn many cars on the road |
| 18:38.46 | spangborn | https://i.redd.it/ikzr4dzekxt01.png |
| 18:43.51 | romanovic | yeah. I'd rather take JRP to work and not have to worry about it... |
| 18:44.48 | romanovic | 's new bike needs its new chain and lights installed, then it should be ready for the commute |
| 18:45.45 | Migs | what we need is a second road |
| 18:45.53 | Migs | on TOP OF the existing highway |
| 18:45.59 | jlp_znc | heh |
| 18:46.16 | Migs | then when that becomes congested, we can just add another layer on top of it! |
| 18:46.22 | Migs | Problem solved. |
| 18:46.26 | jlp_znc | yeah, I'd probably take transit to work, if it didn't cost more than my gas and vehicle maintenance does (and take five times as long to get there) |
| 18:46.48 | spangborn | Well, that's the problem with the state choosing to invest money in expanding an existing moneypit |
| 18:46.52 | spangborn | instead of solving the actual problem |
| 18:47.00 | Migs | what's the solution to reducing cars? |
| 18:47.08 | jlp_znc | moar cars!!! |
| 18:47.17 | spangborn | Better public transit, better alternative transit options |
| 18:47.18 | Migs | BIGGER cars |
| 18:47.18 | jlp_znc | trucks! |
| 18:47.23 | spangborn | also bikes |
| 18:47.26 | spangborn | always bikes |
| 18:47.34 | spangborn | The state should give me a new bike every day |
| 18:47.39 | jlp_znc | bikes are great, except when it's 115 degrees outside |
| 18:47.44 | Migs | When I need to get somewhere, I always leave at the last possible minute. There's no way I'm going to spend an extra hour busing around. |
| 18:47.46 | jlp_znc | or when it's 20 degrees |
| 18:47.49 | romanovic | I'd pay the UTA costs out of pocket if they could reduce my transit time down even to an hour |
| 18:47.51 | Migs | Time is too valuable. |
| 18:47.54 | jlp_znc | or when I have to carry something bigger than my backpack |
| 18:48.03 | Migs | what about us fatties? |
| 18:48.06 | Migs | I'm not going to get on a bike |
| 18:48.16 | Migs | these aren't viable solutions |
| 18:48.16 | jlp_znc | or when I need to get where I need to get to in half the time |
| 18:48.17 | romanovic | I can't justify taking 2.5 hours instead of a 28 min commute |
| 18:48.18 | spangborn | e-bikes |
| 18:48.25 | Migs | that'll work |
| 18:48.28 | Migs | city-issued e-bikes |
| 18:48.29 | spangborn | Well that's the problem of a poor transit system |
| 18:48.37 | Migs | but...why not just take a car? |
| 18:48.38 | romanovic | Migs: or e-trikes, or e-velomobiles |
| 18:48.46 | spangborn | e-cargo bike |
| 18:48.54 | Migs | what we need are e-cars |
| 18:48.54 | spangborn | throw your children in it |
| 18:49.08 | spangborn | Migs: but driven by one person, with a high carrying capacity |
| 18:49.11 | spangborn | like maybe a train |
| 18:49.13 | Migs | city-issued e-cars, with enough space to carry lots of people around |
| 18:49.33 | Migs | I don't think the city has enough ski lifts either |
| 18:49.40 | Migs | that could work, too |
| 18:49.48 | jlp_znc | moving sidewalks! |
| 18:49.54 | Migs | YES. |
| 18:49.54 | jlp_znc | "slidewalks" |
| 18:50.00 | Migs | "dancewalks" |
| 18:50.15 | jlp_znc | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Roads_Must_Roll |
| 18:50.16 | spangborn | Oh the color flag isn't set here anymore? |
| 18:50.22 | spangborn | 07hell yes |
| 18:50.36 | Migs | Futurama-style transport tubes would be cool |
| 18:50.43 | spangborn | Hyperloop |
| 18:51.05 | Migs | oh yeah, where is that project now? |
| 18:51.28 | jlp_znc | boring |
| 18:51.39 | jlp_znc | literally |
| 18:51.42 | jlp_znc | boring underground |
| 18:51.52 | Migs | I think the real solution is that everyone should just get jobs within a mile of where they live |
| 18:51.56 | Migs | that would solve, like, half the problems |
| 18:51.58 | jlp_znc | hey hey! |
| 18:52.06 | jlp_znc | or just work from home |
| 18:52.09 | Migs | yeah! |
| 18:52.16 | Migs | well, let's not be unreasonable |
| 18:52.23 | Migs | sometimes you DO have to walk to the office |
| 18:52.30 | jlp_znc | maybe a little tough for my daughter to work from home (she's a nurse) |
| 18:52.33 | Migs | but yeah, most work could be done from home |
| 18:52.45 | Migs | why? All the patients could go to her. |
| 18:52.50 | Migs | and they could all be within a mile of her home, too |
| 18:53.03 | jlp_znc | I guess she could live at the hospital |
| 18:53.08 | Migs | perfect |
| 18:53.14 | Migs | hospital dorms |
| 18:53.18 | Migs | for all staff |
| 18:53.29 | Migs | professors should have the same |
| 18:53.39 | Migs | I mean, why do students have dorms but not teachers? |
| 18:53.42 | Migs | seems silly |
| 18:54.09 | jlp_znc | indeed |
| 19:04.14 | BigBen212 | spangborn: road construction is needed. Gives politicians a chance to cut the ribbon |
| 19:05.24 | BigBen212 | https://twitter.com/i15techcorridor/status/989177425320853504 |
| 19:06.01 | BigBen212 | and the governor gets to pilot a drone for the press |
| 19:12.11 | jlp_znc | better see his FAA license |
| 19:22.42 | BigBen212 | he didn't have to have one with our own FAA licensed UDOT drone pilot instructing ... or so I've been told. |
