Towards Carfree Cities VIII: Rethinking Mobility, Rediscovering Proximity

The goal of the Towards Carfree Cities conference series is to bring together people from around the world who are promoting practical alternatives to car dependence - walking, cycling and public transport, and ultimately the transformation of cities, towns and villages into human-scaled environments rich in public space and community life. The focus is on strategy, collaboration and exchange, assisting the practical work of conference participants - whether it be organising carfree days, promoting urban cycling, or building the carfree cities of the future.

The NYC Street Memorial Project will be presenting on the panel "Art, Advocacy, Media, and Direct Action: Complementary Strategies for Making Change on the Streets of NYC" on Thursday, June 19 from 4 - 5:30 pm.

Ride in memory of a family member or friend. CWMR was developed to honor those cyclists who were killed by motor vehicles during the previous year. The 2008 ride will remember Jill Spanjer, Malcomb Stewart and Dr. Holcomb, all from Wenatchee. If you know someone who was killed by a motor vehicle, please contact us at bropp@aol.com. The ride starts at Marymoor Park in Redmond on the 21st of June and will finish in Wenatchee on the 22nd, after spending the first night in Cle Elum.
