Presentation Series: The Street Project

Tickets available online in advance or at the door.

Doors at 6 p.m. Film starts at 6:30 and runs 52 minutes. Q&A session afterwards with Cascade Bicycle Club.

On Nov. 14 a new documentary screened at Cascade Bicycle Club will highlight the global, citizen-led fight to make our streets safer: The Street Project. Created by the multiple Emmy-winning team at Boyd Productions, The Street Project takes viewers across the globe in an uplifting narrative, from cycling-friendly meccas in Europe, to New York City and Phoenix, Arizona – one of the most dangerous cities in America for pedestrians – for a deep dive into how America views our streets and how they can be made safer.

Four years in the making, The Street Project looks at how we got here, including the history of street use and how it has changed, what makes effective street design, how the automobile changed the way we use our streets, the misguided use of victim blaming (jaywalking), the impact of zoning laws on street transportation, and much more.

Viewer Discretion Advisory: This documentary contains footage of traffic violence (a car/bicycle crash) which may be difficult for some viewers to watch. If you would prefer to skip this moment of the film, please join 4 minutes after the start.
