Frank still inspirational

I continue decades of respect for Jim Frank, now with his current bus pass program (“Frank ponies up for 1,600 bus passes,” Oct. 8, 2018) as an effort to alter our love affair with the automobile.

Having worked with Jim off-and-on when he was an air quality engineer with the then county-wide health agency and I was a county planner, I had the sense of his commitment to our community. Over the decades, as a county planner, I watched his evolution into development and admired the innovation and inspiration he brought to his urban and suburban developments – sometimes, I am certain, at some personal risk – by thinking and working out-of-the-box.
