At Rail~Volution we recorded a podcast in front of a live audience. We talked with Catherine Cuellar of Dallas about the arts district and her love of transportation alternatives as well as Dave Unsworth about the new Portland bridge which doesn't allow cars along with a whole host of other transit projects. Hope you enjoy it.
