Transportation And The Urban Fabric
FLYOVER BRIDGE BEING BUILT ACROSS EXPRESSWAY ANOTHER BLUNDER CAUSED BY A PRIOR MISTAKE

Alex Marshall’s excellent book “How Cities Work: Suburbs, Sprawl, and the Roads Not Taken,” notes every city stands on three legs: politics, business and transportation. As you might have noticed, I’m interested in the third of these legs because how people get from A to B bears on so many social and scientifi c topics.

It's weird how slowly F'ville moves forward in some ways. Weird because there are so many bright and progressive-thinking people here.
I go way back to a small group that was trying to prevent F'ville from building the incinerator. We all know how that turned out..
But some things do go forward--like the trail system.

Fayetteville needs light rail about as much as the moon needs a McDonalds.

I wouldn't mind seeing high speed rail from NWA to Tulsa. Put you and your automoble on and drive off. I suggest a sales tax to pay for it, much like the Arkansas Highway Commission shoved up our gerboozele in November.
