Greetings. I'm new to Cyburbia. Figured I'd check out the transportation planning forum, as I've recently switched from long-range planning (growth management, etc.) in the Dept. of Community Development in Jefferson County, Washington, to transportation planning in the Dept. of Public Works. So far, so interesting. Anyone have a definition for "visionary transportation planning"?
BTW, I went to graduate school at the Univ. of Oregon. Any planner Ducks out there?
Welcome aboard! For me a visionary transportation planner looks beyond how to just move cars from point A to point B and sees how transportation decisions and street design impacts the quality of life in a neighborhood or a community. A good transporation planner dosen't forget the kids who still walk to school or the elderly without cars or the sight impaired trying to navigate a huge intersection to get to the local drug store or the poor guy in the wheel chair trying to get to the market.

Isn't visionary planner a double-negative or something (redundant) like that????
