[CTPP] FW: TIGERweb v3.0 Transportation and Hydrology Data Issue

by Weinberger

Hold on there, Cowboy… From: U.S. Census Bureau [mailto:census(a)subscriptions.census.gov] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2013 12:16 PM To: Weinberger, Penelope Subject: TIGERweb v3.0 Transportation and Hydrology Data Issue We have identified an issue with TIGERweb v3.0, which was released last week. The issue affects the transportation and hydrology layers in both the streaming map services and in the TIGERweb Viewer. The data that is stored for display at the higher zoom levels (0 to 15) was not refreshed correctly and is still showing data from the previous version of TIGERweb. We are in the process of refreshing the stored data and expect the updates to be completed no later than Friday, March 1, 2013. If there is any further delay, we will send another email alert. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your support. Please send any comments or questions to geo.tigerweb(a)census.gov<mailto:geo.tigerweb(a)census.gov>. ________________________________ [US Census Bureau]<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkP…> Questions?

Re: [CTPP] 50 year history of Metropolitan Transportation Planning in TR News

by Alan

this was a splendid effort by Kevin and Ed. Ed's full history is in publication. Also, John Fischer who has a Brief insert in this TRNews series commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1962 3C Act. But more significantly John has produced an absolutely superb piece as background that the Bipartisan Policy Center did on the federal role. That can be seen at the BPC website. it is called: The Evolution of the Federal Role in Surface Transportation.. it is the annex to a workshop report also very interesting called Strategies for defining the core federal role in Surface Transportation worth a look at http://bipartisanpolicy.org/sites/default/files/NTPP%20Paper_0.pdf or go to the BPC site and hit transportation under publications.
