Wendy Fueur, as part of her talk about public art this morning (excellent talk!), spoke about redesigning streets. This video is an interview with the woman who hired Ms. Fueur and provides an opportunity to share these ideas with those who could not attend. The video also speaks to creating bike lanes, bus rapid transit and Summer Streets.

Chris Ewen’s presentation challenges the Alliance board to think about how the organization approaches grassroots organizing and membership involvement.
Chris developed the attached presentation based on a conversation with other Alliance members and supporters Andrew Clements, Glenn Gadbois, David Foster, and Rich McKinnon. The board unanimously approved forming a working group to make recommendations on how the Alliance could transition quickly to meetings, events, activities, and staffing that supports more grassroots and membership engagement.
