LOVE THE CITY? CARE ABOUT TRANSPORTATION?
THEN YOU CAN’T MISS THIS EVENT. GET INVOLVED!
24 JULY: GETTING THERE … FROM HERE!
6:30PM @ NEW HAZLETT THEATER > rsvp@citylivepgh.org to RSVP
Let’s talk about transportation solutions for our region!
Is the auto the most convenient and efficient way to move people around our region? Can new technologies and policies help unite the region and contribute to our urban vitality? Can we use transportation to grow the city, and the region, in the right way?
The Pittsburgh region is ripe for innovation. New technologies present exciting opportunities to move people and goods around more efficiently than ever before. Light rail, extensive riverfront trails, an efficient bus system, car sharing are all heading in the right direction. But that’s just a start. Getting it “right” requires creative planning.
Join us for a charged discussion on how to get from here to there.
And as a bonus, because we believe that everyone should have a hand in the planning process, we’ll unveil a project which will allow everyone in the region to have a voice in the role of land use and transportation planning, whether you are an urban planner, environmentalist, architect, policy maker, transportation expert, biker, boater or skater.
Get going. get involved!
