Dan Burden is the Pied Piper of Walkability. I first met him in 1976, during my cross-country bike tour, when he was working at BikeCentennial in Missoula. He worked as the State of Florida's bicycle program manager, and then started Walkable Communities, a resource for promoting safe walking conditions. He is a former National Geographic photograper, and he presents alternatives through photography. It's an incredible inspiration to see one of his presentations, and I encourage you to come if you can. Dan will be showing us opportunities and tools for creating more active environments in our neighborhoods. Basic details: Thursday Sept. 20 6-8 pm Thurston Regional Planning Council meeting room 2424 Heritage Court SW, Olympia Transit routes 43 and 44 from Downtown , Westside, and Tumwater Square go near here.
