SALT Talks -- Sharing the Road: People on the Move

Sharing the Road: People on the Move | A Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods Safety and Livabilty Team Roundtable

On January 31, 2011 speakers from the Bicycle Transportation Alliance, Willamette Pedestrian Coalition and Portland’s Office of Transportation will address safety strategies for people who walk, bike and drive. Transportation safety affects inner-north and northeast Portland residents of all backgrounds. Underlying cultural tensions exist in conversations about transportation and the profiles of different types of commuters. This event provides a forum for neighbors to hear perspectives from multi-modal transit users, researchers and city planners and discuss the ways in which our City’s different transportation needs connect.
Speakers include:
Carl “Super-Commuter” Larson from the Bicycle Transportation Alliance will provide perspective as someone who uses multiple modes of transportation on a daily basis
Steph Routh from the Willamette Pedestrian Coalition discusses a recently published report on the main safety issues facing pedestrians and what can be done to make walking safe for everyone
Greg Raisman from Portland’s Office of Transportation discusses the City’s plans to combine safety with community development through a series of transportation “Greenways”
