I am SUPER excited to be working with the volunteers at Reconnect Rochester to organize Rochester’s first ever Street Films event at The Little Theatre on November 19. If you follow this blog, you clearly have a passion for Rochester and the infrastructure that makes our city run. And I think you’ll enjoy the thought-provoking film clips and live discussion that will take place at this event. Don’t wait to reserve your seat. Here are the details…

Join us at The Little Theatre on November 19 for the first ever Rochester Street Films event.

Through short film clips and community discussion moderated by Rachel Barnhart (WROC-TV) we will explore “the future of transportation” in and around Rochester—in particular, walking, biking, & public transit.

We’ll see how cities around the world are implementing smart transportation design and policies to create better places to live, work and play. And we’ll also hear from local experts and everyday Rochesterians about the current and future state of transportation in Monroe County.

Films from Streetfilms.org
and local footage by Rochester’s own Alex and Ander .

Guest panelists will include:

• Erik Frisch
  – City of Rochester, Transportation Specialist
• Miguel Velázquez
  – RTS, Chief Operating Officer
• Heidi Zimmer-Meyer
  – Rochester Downtown Development Corp.
• Karen Elam
  – United Way Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative
