Here are a few notes I took away:
- "What is the first thing you do when you move in a new home? - You make it yours." We also shape cities to make them ours and project that impression to the world.
- "You have been selected because you have two ears." Reach out, "inject [yourself]", and listen to the needs of your community.
- Engineers can do great good if given the right problem to solve by their managers.
- On making an impact at NCDOT working on all highway transportation: picked many projects/policies without fear of failure, now the projects have gone far enough that nobody can undo them.
- On the BeltLine reshaping Atlanta: Atlanta's neighborhoods have always been divided by highways, railroads. Some streets that change names one side or the other from an intersection are the remnants of that time. The BeltLine concept cancels these divisions, hence the catch phrase "Where Atlanta comes together."
