Shifting Gears II: Active Transportation in Portland

Presentation by Sam Adams, Mayor of Portland. As the newly elected Mayor of Portland, Sam Adams represents a city that encourages physical activity, especially for transportation. In other words: a walking and bike friendly city, well served by transit, that also addresses issues such as climate change and peak oil. As a Cascadian neighbour, he can explain Portland¹s special culture, what they¹re planning and what lessons we can learn from what they¹re doing, and would do differently. Reservations required.
