Jarrett Walker interview in WW
In case anyone missed it, Willamette Week published a short interview with transit planning consultant Jarrett Walker of Human Transit fame. He makes some great comments about the value of mobility and addresses the need for TriMet to restore their frequent service network, which was devastated in the last round of cuts. Mr. Walker has recently moved back to Portland, so hopefully we will get a chance to benefit from his ideas on transit network design. Readers may also be interested in his newly published book.

This looks to be a tremendous book.
Maybe we should all shut up and study it.

I might have to buy the book too for all of the free knowledge on his website.
Mr. Walker needs a position at TriMet and Metro; they're in need for a fresh look on things.

I got an early Xmas present today, as the elves at the United States Postal Service brought me my copy of Jarrett's book. Haven't had a chance to read it yet (will do so tonight), but 'tis a pleasant ho-ho-ho for this blogger...
