I’m happy to announce that I’ve become an occasional contributor to StreetsMN, a blog devoted to discussing transportation infrastructure and planning throughout our fair state. My first contribution, Safe Routes to Schools: Getting the Message Right, talks about the challenge faced by Safe Routes in going beyond marketing the program as a health program and making it meaningful for a broad constituency of neighbors.

Everyone should read StreetsMN anyway, because it’s a really interesting and diverse group of contributors with different world views, training, and perspectives.

So, go.
