University Teaching & Lecturing

Instructor of small town comprehensive/strategic planning and urban/regional planning history at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas.


The design of the urban environment is an element of comprehensive planning for towns and cities of all sizes. An issue in urban design is that of design of the public right of way. The following is one example of how one city has preserved a unique element of its street design.

During a trip to Pittsburgh, Pa., our President visited the Shady Side neighborhood to see the famous Roslyn Street mentioned by Allan Jacobs in his Great Streets text. Click on the image below to see photos of this unique street.
