In this episode Josh, Mike, & Roundabout Sam have an interesting conversation on the vast challenges and success stories related to managing transportation & mobility in Tucson, Arizona. While centered around Tucson… these topics directly translate to any major city. The subjects covered include: increasing bicycle, pedestrian, and motorized safety on our roads, bike lane strategies, bicycle events (like El Tour De Tucson and Cyclovia), community engagement and feedback, road design, construction, and repair (including Sam’s favorite topic; potholes), how Arizona monsoons reek havoc on our roads, funding challenges, and much much more. Sam is humble, hard working, well versed, and funny guy. You will like Sam and after listening to this episode you will walk away with a better understanding of what goes into managing transportation in a large city. Enjoy.
