Depave is partnering with Multnomah County Public Health to implement a cooling intervention in the East PDX Gateway area. We might do a micro depave, or we may pop up some shade like this ⬇️ at a hot bus stop. We're analyzing demonstration sites now, let us know if you have a recommendation!

A slide from Mobycon about how we could build a safe bidirectional greenway on SE 7th from Sandy to Hawthorne. Planted buffers between bikes and cars + Euro-style raised bikeways can cancel out risk associated with bidirectional crossings on busier streets. No excuses PDX, let's get bidirectional!

"urban planning has conceived of land as a blank canvas to be designed upon rather than a living ecology... Disrupting this pattern calls for a reimagination of governance, from ruling over land to participating in the living systems that make life possible in a warming world"

How can cities beat the heat? The answer is right underfoot. | OpinionPavement creates hotter temperatures by absorbing and radiating heat, while blocking the soil and tree canopy coverage that could provide cooling.www.usatoday.com
