Thus far, this website has been transportation heavy. This is for two reasons: first, transportation is the key to unlocking any of the other changes we might want to see in our built environment; second, there are some real challenges for Anaheim when it comes to implementing the High Speed Rail. This second point is what’s providing the time pressure for all of these transportation related posts, there is a public meeting next week about HSR in Anaheim and I would like to lay the groundwork for all of the transportation issues before then. I’ll have a post that looks more specifically at the HSR issues prior to next week’s public meeting.
There are many types of public transit, each type serves a different purpose. Rail, subways and monorails, and buses each serve a different role in the transportation landscape. The different types of transit form something of a chain, where each link connects to the others and, to use a a tired cliche, the entire system is only as strong as its weakest link.
