Noon–1 PM. GHD’s conference room at 718 Third Street, EUREKA. Pedestrian Safety is one aspect of Complete Streets that enhances our communities. Humboldt County has received a grant of funds for a pilot project that will target select intersections with crosswalks but where safety is still an issue. The program will be described by Maria Bauman and Michelle Postman from the County’s Public Health Branch. The program models safety measures installed in Seattle, Salt Lake City, Kirkland, and several small towns across the country. As a hint, fluorescent yellow and orange play a prominent role as do whimsy and children’s enthusiasm about “protecting” their parents when crossing the street. Curious? Want a set-up in your town? Then attend this most improbable good idea. Free.
Noon–1 PM. GHD’s conference room at 718 Third Street, EUREKA. Humboldt County recycles many things and with ever stringent diversion targets, HWMA is looking for items not typically thought of as commercially recyclable. Sara Mosser of HWMA will explore how food waste can be converted into a resource. Sara’s interest in local food sustainability has an obvious link to her professional work and will be part of the discussion. Free.
