[sustran] Non Motorized Cell,

[eric britton]

Thanks so much for this Ranjit - and sincere congratulations on a great
sustainability activist concept that I would like to see studied, adapted
and put into service in cities around the world.

 

In addition to the rest, your idea of assigning specific individual
responsibility within the administration (and one would hope also in your
group) to specific pathways is brilliant. Once we start to get the
responsibilities down to specific human beings with names and faces, we are
getting on the right path.

 

Outlining this strategy and your results would certainly make a good feature
for World Streets. These are the kinds of concepts that we are continually
on the look out for.

I am copying this note to Ben Berkowitz with the thought that it might shake
something loose from him. (Hi Ben.)
