Hi Ella,

Have you been trying to get support to improve bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in your community? Do you have great ideas that others just don’t seem to understand? Or are you worried about how your community might react to the change?

Join us for our free webinar on how communities across the country are using pop-up events and temporary infrastructure to educate community members and improve connectivity for trails in your area.

What: Pop-Up Events and Temporary Infrastructure 

When: Wednesday, July 31, 2019; 1–2 p.m. EDT 

Presenters: Ramiro Gonzalez, AICP, government affairs liaison, City of Brownsville, Texas; Jim Brown, director of TrailNation, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy; Katie Sieb, AICP, transportation planner, Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) 

Register today and invite your partners!

Pop-up events and temporary infrastructure projects are flexible, inexpensive ways to demonstrate changes in streetscape designs. They help show the public how they can experience their city streets in new ways. And they open a communication channel that can guide officials to invest in projects that are supported by the public.

During the webinar, you'll learn about how these strategies help promote trail network connectivity through a demonstration crosswalk in Baltimore, a Build a Better Block project in the Rio Grande Valley and Street Supplies—a library program for temporary transportation projects—in Northeast Ohio.

I hope you can join us for this free event to hear success stories from throughout the country—and how pop-up projects can help you!
