Liam Blank · New York
I help explain what a public project would actually change.
I work on transportation, land use, and public spending. I turn plans, records, and data into reports, maps, websites, and images that people can use.
Working in transportation since 2015.
Off-Ramp NYC · 2026
Corridor visualizationA different future
for the BQE.
Off-Ramp NYC needed to show what could replace the highway. I produced renderings that put transit, public space, and neighborhood connections into view. The coalition used the images in its campaign; CityNerd featured them in his BQE video.
Tri-State Transportation Campaign · 2024
Who would pay the congestion charge?
For Tri-State Transportation Campaign, I analyzed Census commuting data by legislative district and built maps, fact sheets, and a public website. The work let people look at the commuters in their own district: who drove into the tolling zone, who took transit, and how their incomes differed.

Penn Station · Independent research · 2026
Reading beyond
the capacity headline.
How many more trains can Penn Station handle—and under what conditions? I examine the studies, operating assumptions, and public records, then explain what the findings establish and what remains untested. My analysis and Study Watch put the source documents within reach.

The research is here to use.
Reports, records, and study updates are open to anyone following these projects.

A short note is enough: what you need to understand or show, who it’s for, and when you need it. We can talk through the work and a fee.
