Biking/walking expert Dan Burden looks at Columbia street

Tuesday, July 05, 2005

A Columbia Missourian article covers about a recent visit to Columbia by Dan Burden:

A former National Geographic photographer from Florida, Burden is now one of the nation’s top pedestrian consultants. He walks more than 1,500 miles and spends 300 days a year on the road advising communities and business leaders across the country on how to design for people, not cars.

His latest stop: Columbia. The city hired Burden to look at the stretch of Stadium Boulevard from Interstate 70 south to Broadway. The city is paying him about $3,500 per day and he will be in Columbia for one and a half days.

“The cool thing is people are figuring out we have to build real towns. And these are the perfect locations,” Burden said as he surveyed the area around what used to be the Biscayne Mall.

“It’s no better and no worse than any place I’ve looked at in America,” Burden said. “It’s ready for change.”
