Author, lecturer and transportation reformer Mia Birk will speak to citizens, neighborhood groups and policymakers about improving conditions for bicycling and walking with a special focus on bike-walk streets (aka, bicycle boulevards). Ms. Birk was instrumental in developing Portland, Oregon’s world famous bicycle-friendly infrastructure and presently owns a home on that City’s first bike boulevard. Please come and hear her thoughts as a resident and planner, and lessons learned along the way.
