Little Fox

Healthy Streets for Healthy People

The Little Fox Theatre ,
Downtown Redwood City
6:00 PM to 7:45 PM

Bicycle and pedestrian expert DAN BURDEN will be speaking at The Forum at Redwood City: A Continuing Conversation on City Design? on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 2005, from 6:00 – 7:45pm! Don't miss this exciting discussion on Healthy Streets for Healthy People Best Practices in Retrofitting Our Best and Worst Streets. Please join us for a provocative presentation on how to bring back full and vital health to our neighborhood and town center streets.

These forums are usually very exciting in a beautiful location (the Little Fox)with great speakers. Howard Avenue could be considered one of our "worst" streets and it will be interesting to find out what advice they would give to make this one of our better pedestrian streets.

Even though the CBB has sponsored some very exciting forums in the past, our city and/or Chamber of Commerce should be taking a lesson from Redwood City's example!

    I found out about this a bit too late. If anyone goes, please enlighten us, particularly about ways to improve safety for peds, and bikers.

    The speaker told us that he had bought a measuring tape in Burlingame before the seminar. And it wasn’t on Burlingame Avenue!

    As a Traffic Commissioner I found this presentation extremely informative. The speaker showed examples of how narrowing streets, adding trees, bike lanes and sidewalks not only calmed traffic, but allowed for better traffic flow and in some cases increased the number of vehicles traveling on the street, but in a safer manner than what had previous been there. Transforming streets into more attractive yet more efficient roads was enlightening.

    There were so many exciting ideas.

    Howard Avenue is ripe for so many improvements. It could be a much better sister to its neighbor, Burlingame Avenue. It already has a couple of very interesting buildings which have been lovingly remodelled by their owners.

    Maybe our mover-and-shaker-of-a-new-councilmember can move and shake some of these improvements because there is so much potential on Howard alone!
