15km lots of hills, trucks and no bike lanes you would be a suicidal fool to attempt it

No worries. Ban the trucks and get an electric bike.

How are we supposed to move the large amounts of rock to build roads (because you still need them for bikes) and the housing that is required for everyone to move to the city as everyone seems to want me to do here

Can't have a train station at every construction site

How would you move any more than 200kg with one of those? At such weight you also need pretty good braking - then you've got similar problems to trucks. Why not remove blind spots on electric trucks and call it a day?
