I was especialy interested to read this: City Manager of Ventura, Rick Cole, offered an inspiring solution and talked about the direction Ventura is moving. He started by saying, "fear is not a mobilizing condition" and that "zoning is a landscape for cars, not people." It was shocking to hear him talk about our "retched" consumptive habits and how it relates to peak oil. Ventura is trying to reinvent around people rather than cars, to reclaim the traffic "sewers" (4-8 lane of roadway), to protect farmland, and to reclaim the traditional neighborhood design of California. The City commissed a plan to look at the issues surrounding peak oil. Read more on the City Manager Blog. (Yes, a City Manager Blog...what a concept!!) The Ventura City Manager's Blog is incredibly informative and inspiring. Just the kind of information I'm looking for to answer questions at upcoming forums!
