VISION ZERO UPDATES
This week Portland launched a NEW community-wide road safety campaign in support of our Vision Zero commitment designed to encourage drivers to slow down and not drive distracted. Portland residents and local business owners can now request campaign yard signs to display on their properties to help foster safer driving habits across all neighborhoods. Please email info@portlandmaine.gov with your address to request yard signs — or pick one up from Emily’s at 84 Carlyle Street (limited number)!
Join the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, Vision Zero Maine, and more community partners on Sunday, November 22 for a FREE Winter Fashion Show for Maine Needs! Bring some winter attire to donate to Maine Needs so all of our neighbors can be warm outside this winter.
Portland in Motion: If you missed "A More Walkable Portland", a special presentation by Jeff Speck, which was held on Wednesday at the Portland Museum of Art, don't worry! We recorded it and it's now available on our YouTube Channel. The event featured a panel discussion on Portland in Motion, the City's first comprehensive transportation plan in more than 30 years, and a conversation about a more walkable future for Portland. Learn more at portlandmaine.gov/InMotion. |
