Gabe Klein's legacy at DDOT
He's been criticized for what some say are radical changes that deprive motorists of more space, but as Dr. Gridlock noted in today's Post article D.C. transportation after Gabe Klein
I think he'll wind up being remembered as a administrator who pushed the District toward the mainstream of urban transportation policy. There's nothing radical in the bike lanes program, or the streetcar program or the street-parking program, or the pedestrian safety program.
What looked to us here like cutting-edge programs would seem like catch-up to people in other big cities.
It just so happens that Fairfax County is looking for someone to lead their Transportation Department. VDOT currently controls most roads in Fairfax but the county is considering taking over their roads, and what better person to lead the way.What looked to us here like cutting-edge programs would seem like catch-up to people in other big cities.
