Episode 192: Mondays at The Overhead Wire – No BRT for Christmas, Only Ham

Chrissy Mancini Nichols joins the show again and we have a blast talking about all kinds of urban topics.  We discuss the rise of electro-states, a new way to measure accessibility from Wendy Zhao, short versus long term thinking on BRT alignments, and thoughts on how we should fund transportation considering our new world of deliveries and electric vehicles. Lots of great stuff, listen in here.
