Listening. It's a long lost art in the transportation and urban design matrix. Too many times, the scoop and problems are being decided by people outside the community. In Lynn's book she details her journey to become a better engineer by going back to school for an Urban Design Masters Degree. The insights she learned have resulted in better projects for communities. The people are more happy with the functional designs of the complete streets and roads to connect them.

What is a road? What can we do better before a project derails? How can we save money by planning ahead of time and constructing once? What do communities want?

This is a design book for every engineer, urban planner, landscape architect, and architects to keep on their shelf. We all want a safe, walkable, and friendly place to live. This is a real "how to" book packed with years of practical hands on experience.
