Here's Your Homework!

Read this PJM article on rail travel in America, and tell me what you think.

We'll have a nice rational discussion about it tonight and tomorrow morning.

Don't pull your punches, just because you know that I have a rail-travel fetish.

As Tennessee Goes . . .

so goes the nation?

Infrastructure is a big problem—both in terms of the Interstate system/local roadways, which we need, and in terms of better use of rail—which we also need.

On Mass Transit

In Fairness,

on the West Side of Los Angeles we also have some of the world's bitchinest Bike Lanes—most significantly, the ones in Santa Monica and Venice that go all the way down south to Mexico.

But this is amazing:


Were they hoping to add another segment to the lane at a later point? Did Cal Trans just get distracted by some other project? Is the city of L.A. suffering from ADD?

As matters stand, I think this is going to be hard to beat as the stupidest bike lane—in this country, and probably in the world.
