Regional Rail and Economic Impact Seminar
February 10, 2005
Transportation, both road and rail, for our region with its expected growth from 5 to 9 million people by 2030, makes planning for the future imperative. Research and demographic studies support the fact that the type of development that is occurring today segregates land uses and forces people into cars. We cannot build enough roads, afford to finance new roads, or maintain existing road networks to handle the increase in our population. It is important for cities to begin planning for alternative transportation to better knit the region together.
The City of Lancaster and Operation Clean Sweep in cooperation with the Best Southwest Chamber of Commerce held a Regional Rail and Economic Impact seminar tonight. Program presenters were Mike Sims, and Alicia Hopkins of the NCTCOG and Dennis Wilson of Townscape, Inc.
