On February 8, streets.mn, in partnership with Nexus Community Partners’ Boards and Commissions Leadership Institute, is hosting a free event — Safe Streets: Narratives of Pedestrian Advocacy.
This is an evening of education, and sharing experiences of being a pedestrian. Come hear examples from local advocates and government about how we have or could incorporate the voices and lived experience of pedestrians into current plans so that all can safely navigate our streets.
Featured speakers include:
- Dave Colling, Harrison Neighborhood Association
- Tamir Mohamud, Minneapolis High Rise Representative Council
- Fay Simer, Walking St. Paul, City of St. Paul
- Julie Vang, REJA (Racial Equity on Johnson Parkway and Ames Ave E.)
Light snacks and networking will begin the evening.
