The start of a new year offers a perfect opportunity to explore alternative ways of getting around. Whether it's taking public transit, walking, or biking to work--even just once a week--changing up your commute can bring numerous benefits. A new mode of transportation can break up the routine, offering a fresh perspective on your neighborhood, all while helping you get outside, stay active, and reduce stress. Plus, leaving the driving to someone else can provide a welcome break from the pressures of traffic. Why not kick off the year with a healthier, more enjoyable way to commute?

The City of Beaverton invites you to participate in the Planning Department's new Designing Walkable Places Project, which aims to revise development rules to create more vibrant spaces throughout the city, offering future opportunities for more people to live in these areas. 

This initiative will focus on areas where commercial development, apartments, or mixed uses are allowed, removing barriers to desired growth. It will also promote the creation of lively, accessible destinations for people to walk, bike, or use mobility devices. 

Unite Oregon's Washington County Chapter will be hosting an interactive workshop for the Walkable Places project on Wednesday January 22nd from 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm. Click here for more details and to reserve your spot.
