Transportation is a big issue in California, watch as one City (ours), tries to solve some problems on the civic level
they meet on Thursdays, at 4:30pm in the 2nd floor conference room at the TW Patterson Building, Downtown.
the following is taken from a quote from an other post, here in FF:
mantra transit

Transportation is essential for developing the area's pattern of growth and is vital for what Fresno is going to look like in a few years. Fresno began as a large City and can once again obtain its status of destination location. How? By implementing a new technology transit system that envelops land use to build a mobility network that allows easy access throughout the entire area; Fresno becomes a model community with an efficient automobile alternative. It's not like there is some new weird gizmo or a large fleet of techno devices. Simply study an old picture of downtown Fresno and analyze what was going on there with its planning. The buildings were built to maintain high population density and it had a transit system.
Apparently, I must say this again: there will be no revitalization of downtown Fresno without addressing the mobility component. Transit has to happen throughout the area for the urban sprawl to even begin to slow down.
The meetings are generally a discussion group talking about what is going on with the transportation industry. The common interest is in how to implement an efficient transit system in Fresno. Are there people from Creative Fresno attending these weekly meetings? Yes, also transportation entities and the meetings are for anyone that is interested enough to attend; it's not as though the meetings are private or secret . Thursdays, now at 4:30pm in the 2nd floor conference room at the TW Patterson Building, Downtown.
