Blueprint Houston will celebrate the career and contributions
of John Sedlak on March 29, 2012, at the Junior League.
Recently retired from METRO, John served as Executive
Vice President and directed various aspects of planning,
engineering, and construction. Late last year he celebrated
the signing of the first full funding federal grant
agreement for rail expansion—the culmination
of years of dedication, patience, and perseverance.
In January began a new position, director of research
for high speed rail at the Texas Transportation Institute.
Co-chairs
of the event are Rey de la Reza, FAIA, and Donald
Glenn. Serving as Honorary Chairs are Bob Eury of
Central Houston, Inc.; Carol Lewis, TSU professor
and former chair of the City Planning Commission,
and Gilbert Garcia, chairman of the board of METRO.
Plan
to join us in celebrating the significant contributions
that John has made to our city and to support to programs
of Blueprint Houston. Blueprint Houston is currently
engaged in three initiatives: active participation
on the Steering Committee directing the Sustainable
Communities Regional Planning process; a study of
Municipal Management Districts, with funding from
Houston Endowment Inc.; and a curriculum study on
urban geography with HISD teachers. A number of public
meetings will engage citizens in the sustainable planning
process and in discussion of the findings and recommendations
of the Municipal Management District Study. A pilot
of the urban geography curriculum is expected in late
May, 2012.
