Comments on: Bridges to Somewhere: New “TIGER” Program’s Bite http://citiwire.net/post/1743/ Our mission... to reflect a new narrative for 21st century cities and regions. Leaving behind the 20th century pattern of cheap energy, endless automobility, burgeoning suburbs, threatened inner cities. To a challenge-packed 21st century: energy prices headed north, perilous carbon emissions, deepening have-have not divisions, excruciating social problems and deep challenges in education. But a time of exciting promise, too.

Too often positive policy shifts -- like the TIGER program -- are ignored by the media. Hopefully, with commentary like yours the word will get out.

Thanks, Neal, for explaining some of the benefits of this important program. Too often positive policy shifts — like the TIGER program — are ignored by the media. Hopefully, with commentary like yours the word will get out.

As I’m sure you know, Detroit was the envy during the first half of the 20th century for having the most modern and sophisticated street-car/transit commuter system in the country.

Thanks Neal. Great work. What breakthrough thinking applied to real situations.
