May 29: Ideas for Safe and Vibrant Streets

Friday, May 29
6 PM at Tokyo Steakhouse (1617 Academy Ave., Stevens Point)

Sizzling meals could compliment dialogue and perhaps command some of our attention during this particular Point and a Pint! session that is sure to test the limits of informality and spontaneity for such an hour intended to be educational and constructive. Join Aaron Kadoch, Tori Jennings, Trevor Rourk and others as we talk about a variety of street design options for Stevens Point. We’ll begin by recalling some of the thoughtful critiques and suggestions shared by Strong Towns founder Chuck Marohn upon his visit to Stevens Point last month. It will then be interesting to see what ideas for local experimentation or orchestration of an ‘open streets’ event may emerge.  You (everyone) are warmly invited to bring your perspectives to the discussion - whether you bring an understanding of people in social settings, experience as a parent, design know-how, financial sense, a finger on the pulse of the community, or just a healthy appetite for food and conversation.
