T# J-, (.UC AJA ~-1Dwrtot/ Texas Arcllllel'I J11/\'·A111wrt /984 5 LETTERS EDITOR: Three cheers for your article on public transportation in Texas. I was mighty impressed with the piece, which did an excellent job of summarizing where we are in Texas, as well as hap­ pening elsewhere in the country. As a member of the Austin Area Rapid Transit Authority interim board, I obvi­ ously have a bias. Nevertheless, I am firmly convinced that Texans are, indeed, willing to leave their cars behind if they are provided with a public transportation system that will get them where they want to go in a reasonable amount of time at a reasonable cost. The challenge to organi­ zations such as mine is to develop this service. Al the same time, we must be aware pf the impact public transit has on land use development and the ascetics of the community. Thank you for an excellent article. Richard H. Paul Member, AARTA Interim Board P.S. I liked your piece on the Austin city hall competition, too! CORRECTION: Two credits in the May/ June story, "The Not So Lowly Parking Garage," were incorrect. The designer of the street level retail shops at the San Antonio Hyatt Regency garage is Barry P. Middleman & Associates, San Antonio; the architects of the garage are Ford, Powell & Carson, San Antonio and Thompson Ventulett and Stainback, Atlanta. The Dallas Galleria garage was designed by the St. Louis office of Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, with associate architects, Kendall/Heaton/ Associates, Dallas. CORRECTION: The major source listed in "Sources For Additional Information On Transit" in the May/June issue, the American Public Transit Association, is now at a different address: 1225 Con­ neticut Ave. N.W., Suite 200, Washington, D.C. 20036.
