DSGNer Robert L. Meckfessel
 Panelist on KERA’s Think

The Battle Over the Trinity Toll Road

On KERA’s Think, hosted by Krys Boyd, DSGN President Robert L. Meckfessel, FAIA, opponent of the Trinity Toll Road was invited to join as a panelist on The Battle Over the Trinity Toll Road. Bob’s expertise on the topic extends from his work on the original Balanced Vision Plan and active involvement with the Trinity River Corridor project since 1998.

Also, last month in a Dallas Morning News oped, The Trinity Toll Road Is an Obsolete Idea, Bob elaborated on his opposition to the Trinity Toll Road.

One of his points in the piece was his concern about transportation planning being based on outdated statistics of the past. Instead, he wrote, planning should be aware of changing demographics , public priorities, and technology, and “focus not on the city we once were but on the city we aspire to be and are, in fact, becoming.”
