Selected work on rail, records, and visual futures.
Projects at the intersection of Penn Station reform, regional rail operations, public records, governance, and conceptual visualization.
Transportation policy and public-records strategy.
I work where rail operations, public records, governance, and public explanation converge, often around Penn Station and regional rail decisions where timing and evidence determine what remains politically possible.
Over the past decade, my work has moved from corridor modeling and service analysis into records practice, governance reform, and public-facing explanations of how major infrastructure decisions are made.
Rail operations, records, and regional strategy.
Selected projects on Penn Station, through-running regional rail, public records, labor access, Meadowlands service, Newark connectivity, and infrastructure alternatives.
Penn Station Through-Running Hub and Records Archive
Central record for the operating, governance, and public-records case around Penn Station through-running.
Penn Through-Running District Atlas
Political-geography atlas showing how through-running changes access to jobs, transit, and regional opportunity.
Rebutting RPA’s Through-Running Capacity Case
A technical rebuttal showing how public capacity claims depend on operating assumptions that must be documented and tested.

A structured review of Penn Station claims against the public record, agency documents, and stated operating assumptions.
Read Eleven ClaimsOperations, records, and public explanation.
Infrastructure decisions turn on service assumptions, institutional records, governance incentives, and public legibility. The work connects those layers before a project narrative becomes fixed.
Operating claims
Service plans, station designs, and capacity arguments are assessed against the operational conditions required for the public claim to hold.
Public records
Agency documents, consultant products, invoices, presentations, correspondence, and internal data are used to reconstruct decision context.
Visual explanation
Maps, diagrams, renderings, and written narratives translate alternatives for boards, funders, press, advocates, and public stakeholders.
Concept renderings and illustrated narratives.
Visual work belongs beside the operating case and public record because infrastructure choices often become politically durable before the public has seen the alternative.
Projects include highway removal, rail reuse, station reform, and public-space transformation.
Board, funder, coalition, and press briefings.
Support for live decisions on Penn Station, regional rail, congestion pricing, infrastructure governance, public records, and visual strategy.
