SMART GROWTH HAPPY HOUR AND WALKING TOUR
Join Sierra Club's Maryland Chapter and its Greater Baltimore Group, Baltimore POP (People oriented Places), Central Maryland Transportation Alliance, Coalition for Smarter Growth, and the Labor Network for Sustainability.
We’re excited to invite you to a casual happy hour gathering of Smart Growth and transportation advocates to connect, unwind, and experience firsthand what a walkable community near public transit looks and feels like.
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is higher-density development located near mass transit or major job centers. These communities are designed to be walkable, vibrant, and offer a mix of amenities—all while reducing car dependence. As we look for meaningful ways to address the climate crisis, walkable and bikeable communities near transit is one strategy that helps us reduce emissions while creating more livable, connected neighborhoods.
We’ll have light appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages available, and you’re welcome to purchase a beer or cocktail on your own tab. This is mostly an experiential event—a chance to soak in the vibrancy of walkable communities near transit, connect with fellow advocates, hear a few brief remarks, and conclude with a 30-minute walking tour highlighting the development’s features.
We hope you’ll join us and be part of this conversation—by simply experiencing what smart growth can look like in action.
