Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer - 21st Century City Lecture Tonight

1

Oregon Congressman Earl Bleumenauer will give an open lecture tonight "Lessons in Livability for 21st Century Cities."  The event, hosted by WakeUp and the Raleigh Department of City Planning will start at 5 pm at "The Stockroom"  230 Fayetteville Street.   The congressman is a transit celebrity- if there is such a thing- and this event is highly endorsed by the transit nerds I know.  

From the city:

Mr. Blumenauer will speak on “Lessons in Livability for 21st Century Cities.” He is chair of the congressional Livable Communities Task Force. As mayor of Portland, Ore., he guided the city through dynamic change to introduce multi-modal public transportation and promote walkable communities.  In Congress, Mr. Blumenauer has focused on transportation, energy independence and budget issues.    U.S. Rep. David Price of Raleigh will introduce Mr. Blumenauer at the lecture series presentation. There will be a question-and-answer session following Mr. Blumenauer’s presentation.  The lecture is free and open to the public.
