Suzanne Thornton organizes an event in which three HGP members share meaningful stories of significant events in their lives. Today we hear from Dave Gray, Margie Adams, and Jules Elias.
Sharon White, of the Portland Bureau of Transportation, presents a “Portland Walks -- Be Safe!” pedestrian/driver training. This includes viewing an 18 minute film about pedestrian and driver safety, discussing Oregon crosswalk laws, reviewing statistics about pedestrian injuries and fatalities, and sharing tips for drivers and pedestrians to make our environment safer for everyone. The emphasis is on human factors. Ms. White conducts pedestrian safety outreach and education citywide. In 2007, she was awarded the “Golden Sole Award” from “Oregon Walks”.
