Denver transportation officials said an anti-car message that was displayed on traffic signs in Denver on Friday was the result of a hack.
Wow! What a great review of LIFE AFTER CARS: "Those new to thinking about the automobile’s reign of terror on society might bristle at the book’s explicitly anti-car message, but the authors aren’t throwing around assertions they can’t back up. By covering a range of topics in one volume, Life After Cars provides openings for new people to enlist in the (proverbial) war on cars."
