Welcome Conference Attendees!
Hi Everyone! We had an awesome time last week at the Towards Carfree Cities Conference, and it was great to meet many of you.
Welcome to the Carfree Conference group that we’ve created here on the Livable Streets Network. This is a place where we can all stay in touch once the conference is over.
First off, you’ll want to join this group (to join, you’ll need to create a free account on Livablestreets.com). Once you’re a member of the group, you’ll be able to use the tools here to stay in touch and share info with everyone. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can do here once you’re all joined up:
- Discussion — we’ve got a discussion list that includes all of the group members. It’s basically an email list
- Pages — the “pages” section of the group is where you can collaborate on shared documents (in tech terms, it’s a “wiki”). We’ve started a few already, but feel free to add your own.
- Blog — You’re reading it right now. The blog is a way to write up news & other stories that you want to share with group members and others.
That’s about it. Good to have you here and we look forward to talking with you!

Thanks, Elly! I am really happy to have this tool for keeping in touch. I was inspired by so many people at the conference, and want to be able to pick brains whenever I need to!! Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
