Our next webinar in the series will be Making the Most of Main Street: Complete Streets & Walkable Communities on Wednesday, May 17, 2017 from 1:00-2:00 PM EDT. Speakers from the City of Langley, WA and Langley Main Street Association will join the Coalition and our co-host America Walks to discuss how a Complete Streets approach can help communities revitalize their downtowns. The speakers will discuss their experiences developing and implementing Complete Streets, the intersection of public health and rural economic development, how to get community members involved, and finding funding. We will also offer lessons from implementing a Complete Streets project in a small town. Registration is now open—we hope you’ll be able to join us:
