A fun, musical ending to the 2012 Access Management Conference.
Would you like to hear those songs again? put a note in the comments.
Here are the lyrics for Access Management – the Musical
I want to get thru (To the tune of Hello Mary Lou)
Passed me by one summer day,
Flashed those big headlights my way
And then I sat in one big traffic jam
I just want to get around
Not be stuck in this downtown
Oh no I hear a screech, slam bam and wham.

Parting Observations
- Applying AMM principles on newly developing highways will not be that difficult
- Applying AMM principles consistently on existing highways is proving to be a huge challenge, especially for the Appeals Committee
- One of biggest challenges is moving past the weve always allowed two driveways mindset
Hurdles Yet to Overcome
- The LPA Question ?
- Developing an Access Management Practice versus an Access Management Policy

I am AM. AM I am. That damn AM! That damn AM! I do not like that damn AM! Would you like to get there SAM? It can help you to your house. I can show you with my mouse. Do not bother with your mouse. I just want to be a grouse. I want my driveway here and there, I want my driveways everywhere. You can safely drive your car. You can drive from very far. Medians can make life grand -- If you can only understand. I do not care if you agree, I only want what pleases me, I want them here so fast, fast, fast, Why should I worry 'bout their cast? You will like AM, you'll see.
