BG urged to take driver’s seat planning transportation WRITTEN BY HAROLD BROWN SENTINEL CITY EDITOR SATURDAY, 12 OCTOBER 2013 08:05 Bowling Green officials were encouraged to look beyond the short term Monday night by a national leader in transportation issues. "Have a vision of more than two or four years," John Robert Smith, co-chairperson of Transportation for America, said in council chambers. "You need a 20 or 30 or 50-year vision. Find ways to raise your eyebrows above the horizontal line of today's problems." Smith was invited to Bowling Green by First Ward Council Member Daniel Gordon to speak to council's Transportation and Safety Committee. All seven council members and many other people attended the 50-minute presentation. Smith spoke earlier Monday at a Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Government event in Toledo. Smith is also a senior policy advisor of Smart Growth America and former head of the Board of Governors of Amtrak. He served 16 years as mayor of Meridian, Miss., where he continues to reside.
