President-elect Barack Obama is creating the first Office of Urban Policy in the history of the United States.  The public can vote for and suggest the priorities of the office at a new website. 

According to Transportation for America's David Goldberg, "the office is conceived as something of a supercabinet position that potentially could coordinate policy among the Department of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, environment, public health and other arenas." 

I like the sound of that.  If you do too let your input be heard by visiting http://www.obamaurbanpolicy.org/.  Then tell everyone you know to do the same.
