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

Win a trip to Seattle

In my in box every morning at ten I get an email from the Sightline Institute. It is where I got the link to the Wall Street Journal story below.

Every morning, their editors get up at 5 AM and read more than 40 newspapers – and obviously not just from the North West. They pick up the top ten sustainability stories and deliver them in a scannable email.

Between now and October 28, as an added benefit for signing up, new subscribers will be entered to win a two-night trip to Seattle including a hotel stay, meals out, and activities—all on Sightline.

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. None of these have been solved since I left, and the region has abandoned its long established growth strategy altogether, as the province expanded its major highways and is now proposing another new bridge over the Fraser. I have long advocated more 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.
