Dear City Council and Staff, Please join Connecting Communities tomorrow - Nov. 6th - at 6:30pm at the Arrillaga Center for a free, expert panel on access to downtowns. I hope you will attend the panel discussion and share the invitation widely! Nov 6, 6:30pm - Getting Downtowns Moving with Convenient and Sustainable Access What are the benefits of downtown housing, what are more good strategies to make it convenient for people to get downtown, if they don’t live right there? Come and learn more on Wednesday, November 6 at 6:30pm, at an event co-sponsored by Menlo Together and the TransForm Connecting Communities series. Many downtowns in the Bay Area are facing this challenge: customers and workers, residents and visitors all need to be able to get downtown, and parking can be a barrier. In this session, experts will discuss a variety of strategies to improve downtown access that also help reduce congestion and improve the environment, including: * Smart parking management * Providing transit access for low-income workers and small businesses * Improving access for cycling, walking, and micro-mobility * Building affordable homes downtown Expert Panelists * Moderator: Billy Riggs, University of San Francisco * Steve Raney, Palo Alto Transportation Management Association * Christian Hammack, City of Redwood City (Invited) * Carla Hansen, Parking Manager Walnut Creek (partnerships with ParkSmart/Smarking) * Karen Camacho, Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo When and where: Wednesday November 6, 6:30pm Arrillaga Family Recreation Center Oak Room 700 Alma St, Menlo Park, CA 94025 Click to RSVP http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=NmGPXBQRDYvbS%2Bf%2FY000TqaF8hoSk%2Bi7 > Received on Tue Nov 05 2019 - 07:06:59 PST
