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?"
