New West could be made into such a lovely area with this. Hopefully it would encourage Surrey to lean into it heavily as well over the next decade before they become the main population centre.
New West kinda breaks down into several areas where this pretty much applies already - uptown, downtown, Sapperton etc.
Obviously there are places where you can live and not be within 15mins of everything but it does have multiple centres not too far from each other. Maybe setting this as policy might make it easier to add things like neighbourhood corner stores.
I think the ship has already sailed for Surrey. Even if the city wasn't designed around cars, council seems too busy focusing on themselves and police forces to do anything useful for their residents.
