Charlottesville Podcasting Network » Walkability Expert Talks to Business Group about US-29 (archived: 2005):
With that in mind, the North Charlottesville Business Council invited urban designer Dan Burden to speak at their April 26 luncheon. Burden is the director of Walkable Communities, a non-profit consulting firm that helps towns and cities throughout North America come up with ways to make their roadways more pedestrian friendly.
CPN now presents the audio portion of Burden’s presentation in a somewhat edited form.
Afterwards, we have his responses to specific questions about 29, and a quick chat with Harrison Rue, the director of the Thomas Jefferson Regional Planning Council.
Once the MP3 file is posted, this will be a great thing!
