Part of what we identified as a dehumanized industrial scale relates to the lack of walkability within Vallejo. Today, their sidewalks vary in quality but remain constant in the fact that motorized transport dominates the mobility pyramid. This forces workers to traverse through the railroad tracks as a shortcut, even when these are dangerous or uncomfortable.
Even if heavy trailers are constant users of the site’s roads, there are sections such as CAPA’s street where there is no required access and thus can be transformed into a human scale mobility pathway. Safety and comfort are not privileges for pedestrians, they are the bare minimum. A decarbonized Vallejo also implies shifting the reliance on motors and living the street by foot or pedaling.
