Join with hundreds of bicycle and pedestrian advocates, elected and appointed officials, bike/ped specialists, transportation experts,
land-use planners, safe routes to school coordinators, public health
practitioners, and many more who want to make our cities and
communities more walkable and bicycle-friendly places. The 14th
biennual Pro Walk/Pro Bike Conference is heading back to the Pacific
Northwest in 2008. The Westin Hotel in Seattle will be the
headquarters for the September 2-5, 2008 event, but you'll have ample
opportunities to get out and see first-hand examples of the
facilities and programs that are making Seattle and the Puget Sound a
model city and region for the role of bicycling and walking in 21st
century communities.
