A multiuse path (based on local data) costs 10% the cost of one lane of road.

I've been trying to gather momentum to implement 0.5km of path built for every 1km of road. Construction costs only go up 5% and it would add massive amounts of mobility. Paths don't necessarily need to be near where the roads are.

It's also a tool that would force road and infrastructure planners to think about how people move around not in cars.
