Ben Foote and Ted Beuhler invite you to join us for an informal
evening of discussion regarding transportation in our region.

This past fall Ted and Ben were students of Rick Gustafson's Traffic
and Transportation Class provided by the PSU Department of Urban
Planning and the Portland Bureau of Transportation. After most classes
we'd find ourselves at a variety of establishments talking about what
could be and how we might get there. Well, we knew that talk could
only take us so far.

There seems to be quite a number of heartfelt thoughts regarding
transportation in our region right now. Clearly we are not where we
should be. Clearly this is a time of great change and great
opportunity. Where does that lead? What does that point toward? And
how do we get there?

This isn't about "my mode can beat up your mode". It's more of "how
can we all be on board?"

There are a number of ideas around, are those vapid or consequential?
Can we find our way to definitive change? How do we bring a 20th
century mentality about the public's right of way, (our right of way)
into the 21st century?

Please bring your ideas. We'll spend a few minutes framing a
conversation and then opening up the floor to find the good ideas
amongst us, and then in the end hopefully find some of us who are
interested in joining ideas with action in the new decade in order to
work on the problems of transportation in our region.

Thanks,

ben
