Greenbelt's Grow Smart Bay Area

Last night I attended Greenbelt Alliance's Grow Smart Bay Area event, which featured a panel of experts who discussed the critical next steps that the city should take in order to protect its open spaces and maintain its vibrant neighborhoods--all while making them more bikable and walkable, of course.

It was very interesting, thanks Greenbelt--it's wonderful to have excellent partners working on land use planning and other issues that certainly affect cycling mode share.

The panelists included:

Jeremy Madsen, Executive Director, Greenbelt Alliance

Carl Guardino, President and CEO, Silicon Valley Leadership Group

Ask Kalra, Councilmember, City of San Jose, District 2

Christopher Meany, Partner, Wilson Meany Sullivan

Dayana M. Salazar, Chair and Professor, San Jose State University, Urban and Regional Planning

Teresa Alvarado, Principal. Morado Consulting (moderator)
