What

The Emerald Network—a vision for 200 miles of seamless shared-use paths across the Metro Boston area is an ambitious goal. With more than 100 miles of the network already built, and 30 miles in design or construction—the remaining 70 miles is a significant, but not impossible gap to fill. What role could the Emerald Network play in not only increasing mobility options for people in the Metro area, but also tackling challenges like economic development, equity, climate change and public health in urban Boston? How do we build it? What are the challenges? How do we get there?

Join us for a StreetTalk* discussion with a panel of experts who will grapple with these questions, chat with the audience and hopefully inspire you to get involved! The StreetTalk will be preceded by a short networking reception.
