We will start at Sidney All Care Residence and head to the Lochside Trail, down the new chip trail to the Calvin Ave entrance to Rathdown Park, east through the pedstrian cutthrough near Cleveland Ave, winding down to Resthaven Rd and ending at Fish O' Chips (stay for refreshment with the group optional).

The walk will be looking at several types of park and pedestrian amenities found in the north part of Sidney, which connect us through our neighborhood in different ways; Sidney's bounded geography and increasing population means we can't increase the amount of park space set aside, but we can look for the potentials we can see to creatively use and increase greenery, natural habitats and human-nature interaction in the spaces we already have.

Walk the Amazon Mile from the Hilyard Center to Tugman Park. Learn the history of our public recreation spaces, talk about new development and transit patterns, meet some neighbors along the way and look for newts in the creek. The walk is flat terrain with maintained sidewalks, roughly 30 minutes there and back at a leisurely pace with time to enjoy the park together. Total walk = 2.0 miles.

When you think of a city you like, what comes to mind? Can a city be a work of art? How do parked cars serve pedestrians? Most of the interaction among people, bikes, and cars is unplanned. How does that happen? Why do people gather in some places and avoid others? Is it possible to create a neighborhood from the ground up? What is a “public space”? How can the design of public space promote or retard social interaction?

The beautiful and historic neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights offers excellent examples of Jane Jacobs’s principles of urban diversity in action. Beginning at the steps of Brooklyn¹s Borough Hall, we will stroll through residential and commercial streets while observing and talking about how the physical environment influences social activity and even economic and cultural development, both for good and for ill. We will be stopping at several points of interest, including the famous Promenade, and end near the #2/3 subway and a nice coffeehouse.

Step back in time to the days when agriculture was still King in the Southern Willamette Valley. The fine old collection of buildings at the Farmers' Union still literally carries the feel of the earth, the field and the crops that brought the first pioneers to this valley. Look around at the huge beams, old hoisting machinery and other evidence of its hard-working days providing for the needs of our farmers' coop. Stroll to three vibrant murals springing up nearby.

Let's talk about power and community. Let's talk about good and bad outcomes at the UO, using judgments that Jane Jacobs encouraged people to use throughout her career. In 1970 the University of Oregon began a radical experiment in campus community-driven planning, known later as The Oregon Experiment. The idea -- proposed by the author of A Pattern Language, Christopher Alexander -- was to improve the quality of the environment by involving the community -- the real experts -- in genuine decision-making. This could lead to beautiful buildings, but Alexander later understood that he had not left enough at the UO to achieve this. We'll briefly train you in the approach he would use today.

The University of Oregon campus has a number of unusual and significant trees. Trees provide a learning tool for students and play an important role in defining the campus character.
