Hey folks,

About a month ago, kindred pothole nerds got together to chat about the
future of street maintenance in our cities and towns, a subject that I have
invested the better part of a decade studying beginning with an open source
initiative called SQUID that was supported by the Knight Foundation that
involved surveying close to a 1000 miles of streets and bike lanes in NYC
and Syracuse

A summary of that conversation was posted earlier here

My sincere hope is that President Biden's Infrastructure plan changes the
Growth Ponzi scheme that plagues many American local finances.

More about the open source initiative is here:

As always, if you are interested in this topic, please let me know.
Would love to build a woke coalition on street maintenance!
