I would like to start by banning all diesel...this is something that can be done immediately. All city buses can run an regular gas or propane, same with large transport trucks.

I'd like my city to become a bicycling paradise. It's the best way of getting around for under 30km.

Uh, could you say why you want to ban diesel in particular?

It releases a fair bit more gunk into the air. Bunker oil is even far worse.
