Introducing StreetsTalk: a monthly event to reimagine streets
Join Twin Cities Streets for People the last Tuesday of every month for a series of events aimed at sparking dialogue, connecting people and inspiring change. The events will kick off this month with a discussion event about Ciclovias, or Open Streets. Click here for a flyer about this month's event.
After a thought-provoking presentation from TC Streets for People's Melissa Constantine, participants will be invited to question, discuss and develop the idea of hosting an Open Streets event in the Twin Cities. Interested participants will be invited to join a working group that will develop this idea beyond the night's discussion.
This monthly event will rotate between topical discussions and good ol' fashioned happy hours.
The 2009 StreetsTalk Schedule:
July 28: Open Streets for the Twin Cities
August 25: StreetsTalk Happy Hour
September 29: Beyond PARKing Day, Permanent Solutions to Remake Streets for People
October 27: StreetsTalk Happy Hour
November 24: Discussion, topic TBD

Hi!
This sounds like a great local initiative!
In case you're looking for more "best practice" examples, check out the video we produced about car-free Sundays, known as "Muevete en Bici (Get on Your Bike)" in Mexico City:

Contested Streets
How about a screening of Contested Streets for November, or future date, followed by discussion and other model cities.
StreetsTalk
Contested Streets sounds like a great idea. I wonder if PSW is ever in town and could make a special guest appearance.
