ABOUT LESS TRAFFIC, MORE COMMUNITY
Genre: CONVERSATION / Q+A
Can we add the homes we need without packing the roads we have? Join Culdesac CEO Ryan Johnson, creator of the car-free neighborhood in Tempe, AZ, and John Zimmer, Lyft Co-Founder, for a fast-paced look at the transportation shifts – ebikes, rideshare, autonomous vehicles – empowering whole communities to live well without needing a car. Sharing learnings from “the capital of sprawl,” they’ll show how walkable development can help the Roaring Fork Valley build more attainable, sustainable, and socially connected homes. Conversation, Q+A, and a cocktail hour to follow.

ABOUT CULDESAC
Culdesac is a real estate developer and neighborhood manager of walkable, mixed-use communities designed to embrace a culture of belonging, transportation freedom, and thriving local businesses. We built Culdesac Tempe, the first car-free community built from scratch in the US. Located directly on the light rail in Tempe, Arizona, it is already home to over 350 residents and 23 local businesses, and it will have 1000+ residents at completion.
Instead of empty parking lots, residents enjoy weekly events, people-first spaces, and easy access to a portfolio of affordable transportation options, all supporting vibrant local businesses. We’re making walkable living the norm in the US, not the exception.
