Healthy Communities Forum #2 "Complete Streets for Healthy Communities"
Please join the Sierra Club at the second Healthy Communities Forum- "Complete Streets for Healthy Communities" on Tuesday, May 31 from 6:00-9:00pm at Redwood City Council Chambers (1017 Middlefield Road). Flyer with additional details attached. Dinner will be provided, no charge. RSVP Here.
Our guest speaker is Redwood City Councilmember Barbara Pierce who will discuss some of the challenges our cities face related to mobility of pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers and highlight how complete streets can improve the social, economic, environmental health of our cities. Afterward, we’ll discuss solutions and strategize next steps together with Chris Bui, a master interactive facilitator.
The Healthy Communities Forum explores how the various facets of the health of our cities – economic, environmental, and social – intersect. Each Forum is a unique opportunity for decision makers, community leaders, and the general public to listen to visionary speakers who share their knowledge related to a specific aspect of a healthy community. Participants will engage in dialogue to connect the vision of a healthy community to their own community, discuss solutions, and together decide on meaningful next steps. Future talks include housing, local economies, habitat preservation, and public health.
