This has been my position (with regard to the north beltline project) since I started going to the NMPAC meetings, and goes to the heart of the argument - land use should drive transportation policy, not the other way around. My county sup, Brett Hulsey, says: We [the Dane County Board] are looking at using the Smart Growth planning process to make them[land use plans] mandatory. This is probably a good 'hook' - the state is going to require official 'Smart Growth' plans by the end of the decade anyway. I encourage others to take this up with their county supervisors: http://www.co.dane.wi.us/danedept/supervisors/ >When should we advocate in favor of limited access highways? I favor limiting all highways to bicycles and buses. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Darin Burleigh |><|\/|/\|-o [EMAIL PROTECTED] |<>|/\|\/|-o _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
