• This week, we round off the month with a visit from internationally renowned Urban Development expert Victor Dover, author of Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns . He jazzed us all up for some multi-modal solutions to the problem of road capacity. Plus, we want to stop letting the data from future congestion software do our designing for us. The MPO staff imagine a future of transportation choice!
