After Years of Neglect and Procrastination
Episode 17
Monday, 5 April, 2021
A year ago, we published an episode of Create the Village entitled, “Has ‘Infrastructure Week’ Finally Arrived?” There was plenty of conversation, rolling into a national election, that supported the idea that the time had finally come…that after years of neglect and procrastinating, Washington was ready to enact a massive program to address crumbling highways, a patchwork of high-speed internet access, and inadequate public transit systems. Twelve months later, we’re still waiting for the federal government to adopt and fund a massively overdue investment in our national infrastructure. This week’s episode is a conversation with David Leininger and Jack Wierzenski, executives with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit. David is DART’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer Dallas Area Rapid Transit, and Jack is DART’s Director of Economic Development & Planning.
