    I was all ready to rant about the problem of new developments being built before public transport infrastructure, but I checked the map and there are two railway lines in the vicinity!

    ...that said, there is a distinct lack of cycle/pedestrian infrastructure and the style of vehicle traffic makes it hostile.

    Of course, the best solution to that is limiting car traffic to a single lane, no on-street parking, and a 20km/h speed limit.
