Making livable streets a reality in Boston, an advocate's perspective.
by Jeff Rosenblum


Pulling together a broad coalition of stakeholders, Jeff Rosenblum 
co-founded LivableStreets Alliance almost two years ago. The goal? Safer 
streets for pedestrians, bicyclists, and persons with disabilities. 
World-class transit. And an educated and inspired citizenry, empowered 
to demand better transportation.

Though very young, LivableStreets Alliance has already had a profound 
impact on the regional transportation dialog. The crux of our success 
has been bringing people together-- we work with the highest level 
officials at MassHighway, DCR, MBTA, and cities/ towns; businesses and 
institutions; diverse advocacy groups; and at the grassroots 
neighborhood level.

Come hear Jeff talk about the trends in urban transportation around the 
country and world, and how LivableStreets Alliance is making change 
happen in Boston.
