Elsewhere…
Intermodality isn’t the only place I write. I’ve been on the editorial committee of Cite magazine for 9 years, and we’ve been talking about getting Cite onto the internet for nearly that long. Now, at long last, we have a Cite blog, which can cover architecture and design news much faster than a quarterly magazine can. Following a 26-year tradition of bad puns, it’s called offcite. It’s a group blog, with contributions from the same people who write for Cite: Stephen Fox, Raj Mankad, Ben Koush), and Anna Mod.
So now I have a second blog outlet. But that doesn’t mean Intermodality is going anywhere. Basically, I’ll write about transportation here and urban design there, and sometimes I’ll cross-link when those topics meet (and they obviously do.) Two weeks ago, for example, I covered the METRORail contract here while writing about Houston Pavilions there (and managed to get linked to by Swamplot in two different places within two days, which is pretty neat.)
Transportation is part of Cite’s beat, so it’s offcite as well. Raj attended the opening of the Columbia Tap bike trail and posted his photos, and Shannon Stoney told her story of a life changed by hazardous sidewalks.
So watch this blog. And watch that one, too.
