Green Transportation

I absolutely agree with this. Existing roads should be kept in good condition, but building NEW roads will surely encourage more automobile use and "sprawl" growth which will in turn destroy more open space and cause more pollution.  Even if ALL cars and trucks were incrediblly efficient, they still require space to be used. We must start moving away from autombile dependency.

There would be plenty of "green jobs" in building and maintaining mass transit systems and in expanding and improving AMTRAK.

Development should be concentrated so that is transit friendly. Also-- development money should fund improvements in decaying and decayed urban areas. A lot of those  places still have mass transit infrustructure that can/should be improved. Development should be closely monitored so that small, independent, locally based businesses are encouraged.

Anyhow, good work Colin Peppard! On Obama, Pelosi, wonks, and enviros call for green economic stimulus posted 1 year ago 7 Responses
