Transit Beyond the Purple Line October 10, 2006

Richard Layman will be speaking before the Montgomery County transit advocacy group, Action Committee for Transit, on Tuesday October 9th at 7 pm, at 8818 Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring.

Here's the description of the session:

Richard Layman, a Washington-based advocate focused on center city revitalization issues including transit, and the author of the Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space blog, will talk about Montgomery County (and some regional) transit issues, after first discussing the "'rithmetic" of mobility, and the concept of mobility-shed transportation planning. Among various activities, Layman helped lead the creation of two different Main Street commercial district revitalization programs in the city, and is working on the relaunch of the Citizens Planning Coalition.
