But I do believe in Mobility (or is it Access?) for All.<br /><br />Yes, Paz, when I was in Pittsburgh I only spent a few minutes downtown, basically to change buses or trains. I spent time in Oakland, Shadyside, the South Shore and Mount Washington. But because downtown is where everyone changes buses, shutting it down essentially disables the entire public transit system.<br /><br />Actually, Alon, I had no idea there was a Yearly Kos. I spent the weekend right here in Queens. - with the exception of an excursion to Summer Streets in Manhattan.Cap'n Transithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057887736728828646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-74929559750976802242009-08-17T18:48:49.003-04:002009-08-17T18:48:49.003-04:00Were you at Yearly Kos?

...If I may respond to the affront on my fair city.<br /><br />The geography of the city basically forces you to shut down downtown. It's regrettable, yes. But one of the wonderful things about Pittsburgh is that downtown is just one of 90 neighborhoods, quite a few of which are more vibrant than downtown on a Thursday night. The summit probably won't be the best way to show off downtown to reporters and dignitaries, but it will offer tremendous opportunity to show off our other neighborhoods and culture.Pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498571066166908059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-39525905041865838712009-08-17T09:58:40.855-04:002009-08-17T09:58:40.855-04:00Marie Antoinette... plus ça change, plus c'est...Marie Antoinette... plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose<br /><br />This blog has an engaging style, thoughtful and thought-provoking content... our blog-of-the-week.fpteditorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620275872850435922noreply@blogger.com
