Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Photo camerasD.C. police use photo radar cameras and red light cameras at such intersections as 16th Street and Colorado Avenue NW. (Bill O'leary -- The Washington Post)

The Washington Times reports, in "D.C. cameras hit Maryland drivers hardest," that Maryland drivers receive the bulk of the citations generated by DC's automated traffic control devices (running red lights and speeding).

According to the article, in February:

64% of the tickets were issued to those with Maryland drivers licenses;
20% of the tickets were issued to those with DC drivers licenses;
9% of the tickets were issued to those with Virginia drivers licenses;
and other states made up the difference.
