SPUR Lunchtime Forum: Cars in the city: A conversation with traffic engineer Jack Fleck
"For better and worse, cars are a big part of urban life. San Francisco
City Traffic Engineer Jack Fleck will share lessons from a career
in the transportation trenches—including the contentious Berkeley
traffic diverters, the Embarcadero Freeway replacement project and Third
Street Light Rail. We’ll also hear about some current issues—extending
parking meter hours and the Transbay area plan. Also, is there still a
case to be made for the electric car?"
