The interesting difference\/ twist here is that cross-use is created\/ nourished through congestion-cutting strategies and transit infrastructure, as well as (get this!) broadband infrastructure (!).<\/p>\n<p>So, interesting point to ponder: that congestion is another barrier to cross-use.  Something to think about.<\/p>\n<p>And: think about taking broadband\/ digital infrastructure into account when thinking about cross-use vs single-use.  How to map the virtual onto the real\/ actual?
