INFRASTRUCTURES * USA - Los Angeles' Potential Transit Future Revealed
Los Angeles is the ultimate car-friendly city
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -Fast Company, by Ariel Schwartz -Apr 7, 2010: ... Perhaps that's why so many people are furiously working on plans to give L.A. an alternative transportation infrastructure. We recently took a look at the L.A. Bike Working Group's proposed freeway system for bikes, and now a group called Move L.A. is pushing a plan called Los Angeles 30/10. The plan, spurred by a 2008 L.A. ballot measure that will raise $40 billion for public transportation through increased sales taxes, asks the government to front some of the cash now in the hopes that projects can be completed in 10 years instead of 30 years... GOOD reports that the plan has backing from Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, and Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein are also interested in pushing it ahead. Villaraigosa has a vested interest in seeing the project to completion--it could be his legacy. He also surely realizes that the L.A. economy will be crippled by rising gas prices unless immediate action is taken...* USA - Live traffic data could be generated by end of year. New cameras designed to alleviate congestion
Sioux City,IO,USA -The Sioux City Journal, by Dolly A. Butz -April 21, 2010: -- By the end of the year, the Iowa Department of Transportation will have 27 cameras and 26 traffic senors operational on Interstate 29 and highways 20 and 75 in Sioux City that will generate live traffic data to help alleviate congestion during road construction... The Western Iowa Intelligent Transportation System project isn't intended to issue traffic tickets like the red-light cameras at various intersections around town. In fact, Schultz said the sensors don't pick up specific speeds of vehicles, but measure the flow of traffic and provide an average speed...
