I forgot all about him, since, well, I don't think much about alternative transportation. He struck me as a genuinely nice person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-2002074578719020922015-03-16T14:37:42.149-04:002015-03-16T14:37:42.149-04:00I met this guy, talked to him on the bus, and reme...I met this guy, talked to him on the bus, and remember he said this is not good yet but I'll make them make it better.

Many of his ideas were encorporated into traffic plans here in the Valley. Bike lanes is just one of them. He would drive the LVPC crazy with his proposals on lowering the traffic numbers on Route 22 by proposing more bike lanes through the cities. He couldn't prove the theory and they couldn't disprove the theory. Bikers and mass transit users have lost a good friend and he will be missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
