I come to these headline posts to catch up on news. While the Jarrett Walker post is interesting and worthwhile it has been on his blog since April of 2010 – so calling that a Headline for Today is misleading
@ Stephen
I commend you on your eye regarding the Date. The Human Transit article was on the Planetizen front page for Canadian Planning when I was reading through different news and planning blogs this morning. The link went directly to the article, so it was not seen in relation to others. I take the providing of news for fellow urban thinkers seriously, … as I know we have a readership who are very ‘engaged’.
