Is there enough grassroots support to build on our transit successes?

Thomas F. "Freddie" O'Connell is one of the most informed Nashville voices on transit and mobility. He was named to the Metropolitan Transit Authority board in May of 2008 and also has served on the board of directors of Walk/Bike Nashville and the mayor's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. A software developer for Rustici Software by day, he also is a past president of the board of the Salemtown Neighbors Neighborhood Association. Post Editor Geert De Lombaerde sat down with him in August to tackle some of the big questions related to Middle Tennessee's growth.

What jumps out to you in thinking about how Nashville is approaching mobility these days? Where do things stand?
