CNU Transportation Summit this week
Monday, 2 November 2009
This week, the Congress for New Urbanism will be in Portland for its Transportation Summit 2009. The purpose of this gathering will be to discuss potential reforms to transportation policy, and I will be in attendance. Given the sorry state of my iBook, I suspect I won’t be doing any live blogging, but I will be taking notes and (hopefully) posting some updates now and then.
It is my understanding, however, that there will be CNU members live blogging on the CNU group blog. As prep reads for attendees, the bloggers have already recommended reading two recent news articles, one being the Willamette Week’s take on the new Metro Regional Transportation Plan, and the other being a rather interesting article from last week on the downsides of Portland’s much storied 200′ street grid. They’re worth checking out.
