Citizenship Building Block #10: Take an Alternate Route

Even though Robert Frost was writing in 1920, he might have been a contemporary urbanist when he suggested that taking the road less traveled can sometimes make all the difference. This week, ditch the car, pump up the tires of your bike, hitch a ride with a friend, take an alternative route, try public transit, or, dare I say, walk! Opt for the commute-not-taken and see if you can design better ways to get from here to there. You don’t need to be Robert Frost to create poetry in motion.
