It's not that this could never be built in any other city, you have to start gradually and spread the costs, or you have to make big changes to the roadnetwork at once, at a higher cost. Either way, would work just fine.,(reply>), Anneke Oosterink I was thinking about something more like in the video where they have paths for bikes/golf carts well away from the roads and sidewalks.,(reply>), @John Pattillo i suggest hou take a look at how the Netherlands implemented bicycle paths on small city roads. You can retrofit a lot without anyone having to sell (or when there simply is no land to sell),(reply>), The main problem would be getting the land to build the tracks.  No town government would survive the next election if they started forcing people to sell.   Courts would also probably stop them as well.  The land sales would all have to be voluntary.  Extremely unlikely.,(reply>), @Anneke Oosterink Physically you could, but she's not talking about that.,(reply>), @Jarynn you could argue that existing infrastructure is not working if you look at car crashes and the damage to the environment. But yes, in general, the population has to agree for something to be implemented. I just wanted to give a way in which it could be done as a counterpoint to what the mayor said. This can be done elsewhere, roads are being changed all the time, or retrofitted with bike paths etc.
