Talk more about your problem. Complain as much as possible to your city government. Organize or join a transit union.
It also sounds like your city needs more green space. Yeah, my only advice is, "fight like hell for you kid's future."
Absolutely! I'm a part of a couple different cycling groups, one of which actively lobbies and is the reason our city is actually changing for the better. We're also super behind on our canopy coverage, and topographically I'm surrounded by rivers which increase the humidity. So, when it's hot, it's very hot.
It's one of those things that my grown children will be able to enjoy, but it's shameful it's taking this long. I just wish progress was quicker.
