Episode 9: The New New York City Transportation Agenda + Back to the Future

New York City – David & Wes break down Mamdani's New York City’s new transportation agenda and & the priorities it elevates and avoids. We examine how political vision, implementation, and street-level realities align or clash... and what all this signals about where cities may be headed next. Listeners will come away with a clearer sense of what’s genuinely new in the agenda, what feels recycled, and why meaningful change often arrives later than promised.

Today, we also talk about: 🔹 Where we went, what we saw, & how seeing cities up close shapes our transportation thinking  🔹 Back to the Future & how flying cars seem long overdue, but do we even want Marty McFly's future?

Then we dive into the mailbag & have some rail drinks... stay tuned for bi-weekly conversations about all things transportation!
