017 Alex Weinheimer, Transportation Advisory Board

For episode seventeen, I spoke with Alex Weinheimer in his apartment in central Boulder to discuss all things transportation. Alex is a transportation planner and engineer for a consulting firm based out of Texas and he also volunteers his time on Boulder’s Transportation Advisory Board. We spoke about VisionZero, micromobility, the pavement management program, car-free living, and much more. Alex lives downtown without a car but he has an EcoPass and a pair of shoes.  He gets around by walking, transit, and the bike share. I appreciate his perspective on transportation issues which is informed by his lived experience of growing up in Boulder riding the bus and now organizing his life around car-free living in the heart of Boulder. It is clear that he has a deep working knowledge of Boulder’s transportation system and that his dedicated efforts to help improve our city reflects his love for this community.
