More and more Portland neighbors are discovering walking as the best way to
get around, get some exercise, and meet their neighbors. Sometimes a walking
experience can be enhanced with a simple path connection or just letting more
people know where to find those great walkable streets and trails. With
shrinking budgets, city and regional governments rely on area residents to take
matters into their own hands and organize for and implement real improvements
for pedestrians. The Portland Office of Transportation (PDOT) and Southwest
Neighbors, Inc (SWNI) - Southwest Trail Group will present interactive and
practical workshops designed to get you and your neighborhoods on a path to
getting things done for pedestrians. Topics include:
- Developing a shared community vision
- How to get started and how to build paths and trails with your
neighbors
- Recruiting volunteers and getting them to come back
- Creative solutions to knotty pedestrian problems
- Walking groups - joining in or start your own
Our community partners, Willamette Pedestrian Coalition, Rose City Roamers and
Portland's Community and School Traffic Safety Partnership invite
you to attend and will have information at our summit display tables.
