In a recent post about the benefits of a gridiron street system, Beth Akeson left some supporting comments and said:
Let’s explore how other communities are handling these issues and learn from their successes and failures. We can always tweak the ideas to accommodate the “uniqueness” of Peoria. I have learned so much from reading, attending conferences and interviewing people who have solved some of the municipal problems we face. I would be happy to share this information with anyone interested and I have asked CJ if he would be willing to upload a variety of documents for people to read at their convenience.
