Zurich's plan uses a network of sensors to track the number of cars that
enter its downtown and prevent more cars from entering until congestion has
subsided.

It's interesting to think about how this could feed into cities with
mass-transit and active-transportation systems.
Please note the change in location for tomorrow's public transit rally...

Hi everyone,
The APBP webinar on paths (urban and rural) and crossings / intersections
was quite good today, so thought it worth sending out the slides in case
anyone else wanted to take a look.
Granted it's not as clear without the accompanying narrative but if you
have questions, let me know and I'll see if I can answer them.
cheers,
Beth
Someone should propose this for Winnipeg. ;-)
