Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

The communities listed above are decentralized. Centralized instances are omitted as they go against the fedi purpose and it’s better to cultivate digital rights in the free world. That means instances that have a disproportionately large population or are centralized on Cloudflare are not listed.

What happens after the five years of maintenance mentioned?
Do they let it crumble?
A guess:
I think they'll evaluate it as an experiment.
If it was cost-effective, and doesn't have some other major problem (like a slippery surface which causes people to fall down) they'll renew the contract and build more.
If it wasn't, there is likely some amount of cleanup needed to dispose of it.
Hope it works out, sounds like a great product, especially for a place with so many bike paths
