Learning From Portland, Oregon: Creating Vibrant Cities

A Conversation with Rex Burkholder, Oregon Metro Councilor

National Capital Planning Commission
401 9th Street, NW - North Lobby, Suite 500, Washington, DC

Portland, Oregon, wasn't always the walkable, streetcar riding, bicycling community it is today. Counter to all other transportation trends across the country, driving miles there are actually declining as more and more people find better ways to go about their daily business. What are the keys to creating such a successful region? How can the DC Metro region learn from Portland’s experience? Join us to discuss how Portland transformed into a national model for smart growth and balanced transportation. Hear from Councilor Rex Burkholder, long time bicycling & walking advocate, and Councilor on Portland Metro Council, the regional planning and transportation agency for Portland.

RSVP (attendance only): 202-244-4408 ext 114, or rsvp@smartergrowth.net. This event is free of charge.
