Presented by Cathy Tuttle, Bob Edmiston & Eli Goldberg
Seattle is building neighborhood greenways!
Inspired by Portland’s model, a rapidly growing grassroots coalition of hundreds of community members -- closely partnered with City leadership and staff -- has led to a comprehensive crowdsourced network map designed and rigorously field-tested by 19 volunteer neighborhood groups, and millions of dollars in funding. You’ll hear the inspiring story of how a group of committed and engaged Seattle residents adapted Portland's vision for greenways, offering a grassroots model for people in other cities to successfully bring a connected network of safe, healthy residential streets to their own communities.
