TUESDAY MAY 19: ”A Carless Carleton?: What would it take to get us there?”
A Community Discussion, and Transit Information Fair Tuesday May 19th Noon – 2 p.m. By focusing on the goal of a Carleton without cars, we hope to shed light on the current transportation situation at Carleton and the wider Northfield community. Discussion direction: What segments of the population use cars? Where do they go with their cars and how often? Can these needs be met with other forms of transportation? What are the current transportation options for people without cars? Is a Northfield community-wide ride-share website possible? What would a comprehensive transit system in Northfield look like? Would it be economically viable? Campus and Community Residents Welcome! Tuesday, 4 – 5 p.m. Information Session on transportation options available to faculty, staff and students; Gould Library Athenaeum Critical Mass Bike Ride 6pm (contact legrande@carleton.edu) 7:30 p.m. PBS E^2 Transport documentary on transport issues in London, Paris and Portland, Oregon.

I thought you might like a little slideshow of flowers currently on display around our neighborhood. The Scilla offers one of the best shows; it seems to grow everywhere, even where grass won’t, and the show goes on for a few weeks. (Click on photo to enlarge; then click on “slideshow” to set the timing.) Ed Guess what dropped in on us this afternoon? This adorable, tiny songbird, a female golden-crowned kinglet (Regulus satrapa). I think it would be nice to have people send me their own favorite photos of birds in their neighborhood; we can make a lovely slideshow. Ed |
