If you’re a regular Streetsblog reader, you probably have a pretty good idea that America has so many “crumbling roads and bridges,” as U.S. politicians are so fond of pointing out.

Bonus: this one has some of the best 101-level instructions we’ve seen for getting involved reshaping your local transportation network.
