As we were saying...

Reporter Karen Dillon, in this morning's KC Star points out that, as a city, we are unprepared for higher gas prices at the level of $4-6 per gallon. 11 cities in the 50 largest were ranked worse.

Even Mell Henderson, director of transportation with MARC stated, "I think right now in our community we sort of assume people have a car, and it is sort of laid out in a way that it only makes sense if you have a car,” Henderson said. “We have to rethink how our community is constructed so there are more places that we can get to either by foot or on bicycle.”

The story on the study is available at SustainLane which seems another great resource to which I will put a link on this blog.
