BRACK: The world embraces mass transit; So, too, should Gwinnett

By Elliott Brack  |  Watch out, Gwinnett. You don’t need to delay mass transit. While so far Gwinnett County has dilly-dallied on mass transportation, the rest of the world’s large cities are embracing mass transit.  However, now there appears to be a more hopeful attempt for Gwinnett to address mass transit, perhaps in the General Election in November.

BRACK: Gwinnett must be more urgent in planning for mass transit

By Elliott Brack  | In our family, it was those children in China that my parents mentioned.

“Eat your peas. Do you know that there are poor, starving children in China that would be so thankful if they had your food, like your peas, to eat?  Don’t waste food. Eat up. You are so lucky that you don’t live like the poor starving people in China.”

FOCUS: Site seeks to raise funding to promote mass transit in Gwinnett

By Jack Snyder, director, Gwinnett Needs Mass Transit | Do you commute to work in the Atlanta area? Is sitting in traffic jams worth using your own car? Does our lack of spending on road infrastructure in the Atlanta area bother you? If you answered “Yes” to these questions, then it is time to really consider mass transit as an alternative. Whether you like it or not MARTA is now the best alternative solution.
