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.

Camera nabs rushed driver - 69 times

From the Arizona Republic:

A woman who was caught 69 times by Scottsdale speed cameras since March told detectives she threw the tickets away because she didn't think anything could happen to her. Now, she faces jail and $11,000 in fines.

Five of the citations issued to Francesca Cisneros, 32, of Chandler, were criminal speeding violations. She also was caught once by a red-light camera, and she faces two counts of driving on a suspended license.

Cisneros told officers she speeds because she often is late for meetings, Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said. All but five of her 69 speeding tickets were on Loop 101; her top speed was 86 mph.

Now let's hear it from the Washington Times and other defenders of the "right" to break the law.
