Thoughts about the relationships between transport and the urban area it serves

What I did on Sunday

with one comment

There was a final trolleybus ride organised by TRAMS last Sunday. Jason Vanderhill was among those I shared the experience with and he has a wonderful set of images on flickr.

Mine – as seen on the Vancouver Metblog – were very ordinary.

Having moved to Vancouver in 1980, the retirement of the 1983 era trolleys is one of those “God, I’m getting old” moments. Somewhere in the archives I have a postcard of the “new” trolleys purchased many years ago at the old “Railway World” store in Gastown, a store I’m sure you spent some time in over the years.

Who am I and what is this

I am a transportation economist and regional planner, displaced from England by the abolition of the Greater London Council and a dislike of Thatcherism. Until March of 2004 I worked for the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority on wide variety of policy issues. I have long advocated sensible policies to better integrate transport and land use. And this blog is a way to keep up the pressure! It also allows me to vent a bit on related issues.
