Quote of the Day

“The rest of the industrialized world is moving toward a bright transportation future while America remains chained to the automobile. It’s clear that Fayetteville should be moving in the direction of regional rail, a dense system of regional buses, green highway medians, narrow city streets, bicycle and walking trails, dedicated bicycle lanes, sidewalks on both sides of every street, and traffic calming. I’m happy to note that Mayor Coody and most of our City Council support such good moves. Wrong directions include street widening, five-lane highways, three-lane highways, flat parking lots, excessive curb cuts, and the further facilitation of car-oriented shopping at malls and big-box stores.”
