Road design, transportation and walkability

As a matter of principle, public policy shouldn't be made on an algorithm that cannot be scrutinized. It's wholly unscientific. If the company wants to protect their process, they should patent it. If they want to keep it hidden and not open for review, they're of no more value than a soothsayer and should be excluded from an RFQ.

Exactly. Anybody who is saying “hey, they signed a contract, they can’t release the data” is missing the point — we’re saying the contract is no good and shouldn’t have been signed.
