Here’s why you should VOTE NO on Austin’s Proposition 1. Proposition 1 failed decisively. I’m not happy about this; I wish there had been a good rail option on the ballot that we all could have supported. If you’d like to see one on the ballot in the next election, tell your new city council member, and view or sign the petition at AustinNeedsTransit.com. There are many reasons to oppose Austin’s upcoming bond for a light rail line, even if you support having light rail in Austin. What is Proposition 1?

February 20, 2015. Of course not, because the opposite of the city is not the countryside; the opposite of the city is sprawl. The town of Hutto being consumed by Austin’s sprawl much like a hapless bacteria engulfed by an amoeba. Among the things I love most about Texas:. Endless clumps of prickly pear cacti that look like an arid coral reef. The dusty smell of a limestone creek bed. An old barbeque joint in a small town. How far do you have to travel before the highway narrows to two lanes? Notify me o...

Austinites will waste untold millions of extra hours sitting in traffic on South MoPac,. Traffic planners say,. Unless we do something. Can we build our way out of traffic?

May 20, 2015. Knitting Austin Back Together – Stitch #2. There are many levels of urban connectivity that affect the travel habits of a city’s residents. Our last post. Focused on the macro level by showing how a new extension of street or public way could dramatically enhance the effectiveness of transit, walking, and cycling for getting around in a neighborhood. A network with more connections better supports alternatives to car dependency. Streets however can be more or less connected. Supposedly it&#...

February 17, 2015. Density Does Not Cause Traffic. It seems that local media outlets constantly bemoan the statistic that 110 people move to Austin on an average day. Tall buildings, skyscrapers, 10-to-50-story buildings full of people are presumably to blame. Meanwhile, the city is still not as dense as it was in 1950, 1960, 1970, or 1980. In fact, 2015 Austin is only 68% as dense as 1950 Austin. We saw in 1950 Austin that density transit = no traffic. We saw in 1990 Austin that sprawl cars = traffic.

February 2, 2015. How Many Steps Does It Take to Get to the Center of a City? UPDATE: Check out the lively discussion at r/Austin. On a cold January day in Paris, a professor asked his architecture class, Back home, where. Like most of my suburban-bred peers, I had a difficult time remembering mine. I eventually recalled a donut and kolache shop that, though less than a mile away, was a good three-minute drive through the winding roads of my subdivision. He then asked us, Wher. The difference between Par...
