[sustran] Re: Plan ahead for R2W: Adopting a stretch

[Kanthi Kannan]

Dear Eric and all

Greetings!!

The Right to Walk Foundation had its annual general body meeting on July 3,
2010. There were a number of participants and the discussion was indeed
useful. The Brainstorming session brought out a number of interesting ideas
and methods to proceed ahead. 

Among these was the adoption of a stretch to make it pedestrian friendly. We
need to remember that the stretch that we take up is not very controversial
and can be relatively easy to do. 

Thanks

Any Contacts? / Suggestions to go Ahead would be most welcome. 

Thanks

Regards

Kanthi Kannan

Kanthi and all,

This is one more example of the sort of thing that we need to provide a new
information and policy framework concerning.

The fact is that there is a class of consistently perverse projects which
are at the exact opposite end of best practices.  And they are so many and
so often greeted and supported by policy makers that we really need to put
in place a mechanism, some ort of high profile, easy to consult and
vigorously commented public gallery  of "high recognition" of RBI - Really
bad ideas.

It's a natural for Word Streets and the New Mobility Agenda, and if any of
you has anything thoughts on how to set this up and keep it moving, well you
have an eager ear in Paris.

Work continues.

Best/Eric
