This issue came up at last night's talk at the Hammer; notably architect Stefanos Polyzoides is upset that the federal stimulus money will funneled to highways and roads, rather than long-range transportation projects. From All About Cities: "A number of urbanista bloggers have expressed disappointment with President Obama’s stimulus package and its focus on road infrastructure over transit (and tax cuts over transit). As vehicle miles are declining and dense urban areas gentrifying, advocating for better transit certainly makes sense from a long-term planning perspective." [All About Cities]
