Description

Map of Seattle's Neigborhood Groups working for Neighborhood Greenways

 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.
