"Toni Carter, Deb Montgomery, Nick Khaliq, Marvin Anderson, Mary K Boyd...these are the people who lead". Only because of their shoulders can we stand where we are today. These are just a few of the trailblazers who guide our path. Thank you to The White House and the Council for Environmental Quality for hosting a powerful Summit highlighting so many's decades-long work and the Biden-Harris' longstanding commitment to environmental justice. While much work is to be done, much is to be celebrated as we continue to #Buildabridgetobetter. Click the link below to watch a replay of the Summit:https://lnkd.in/gwGC7T-U

Last week, our very own Kent Ahrenholtz represented KEG at the Transportation Research Board’s Conference on Advancing Transportation Equity in Baltimore, MD. Kent presented on the Rondo African American Cultural Enterprise District & Community Land Bridge (ReConnect Rondo) project and participated in a dynamic plenary panel on the USDOT’s Reconnecting Communities program with COMTO. We're thrilled to have been among the nation's top transportation equity leaders at #CATE!
Today during the Transportation Research Board's #CATE conference, COMTO was proud to support the Lunch Plenary Session "Reconnecting Communities, Applying Equity". Our very own Nadji Kirby shared opening remarks and framed the discussion moderated by longtime COMTO member Tracee Strum-Gilliam and featuring amazing panelists Gabi Brazzil, WSP and Kent Ahrenholtz, Kaskaskia Engineering Group, LLC. The discussion centered around promising practices in restorative community development, meaningful engagement and incorporating equity into the way we do business. Thank you to all who contributed to the robust discussion! #TRB #COMTO #EQUITY #Leadership #Community #CATE

Community Engagement Director at 825 ARTS 2023 Women’s Press ChangeMaker! 2023 Rondo’s Education Achievement Award
Central Village Park’s 50th Anniversary‼️ This Saturday July 13 at Central Village Park 457 Central Ave. W Saint Paul, MN from 1-3pm Hosted by Central Village Block Club RONDO Double Dutch Twin Cities Skaters U-NEED AIR BRUSHING LLC Community Action Partnership of Ramsey and Washington Counties Mizz Mercedez MN Venom BR Sports Club Saint Paul Parks and Recreation 825 Arts Sponsored by ReConnect Rondo Raddison Hotel Central Village Park is celebrating its 50th anniversary! The park was built in the 1970s, a few years after HWY 94 was constructed. Due to the devastation the freeway had on the Black community in RONDO, residents advocated to the city council for some type of reparations in their city’s development planning. This led to the creation of Central Village Park, giving Black community members the opportunity to buy land and build their own homes. This community became home to many prestigious Black leaders, such as Mayor Carter’s family, the Crutchfields, Roger Anderson, and many more. Come celebrate and learn more about the parks legacy and future at www.centralvillagepark.org

Day 3 of the 53rd COMTO National Office Meeting featured a dynamic session moderated by Secretary Toks Omishakin from California Department of Transportation, with Acting Administrator, Federal Transit Administration, Veronica Vanterpool as the keynote speaker and 3 other panelists this morning. The panelists shared insights from their respective regions and projects. The ReConnect Rondo project stood out the most to me, due to its significance and grassroots origins, which is particularly noteworthy. The COMTO DC Chapter facilitated a great team-building gathering. It was great to connect with the chapter members and other regional committee persons. Thanks Jeff Parker, P.E., PTOE and Shelley Johnson for putting this together! In the afternoon, my colleague Cherie Gibson led an engaging session on innovative and equitable engagement strategies. Panelists, including PRR Tracee Strum-Gilliam discussed the U.S. Department of Transportation’s guide on meaningful public involvement in transportation decisions. Hally Turner, AICP from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, shared about MnDOT’s Community Engagement startagies. My other colleague Kimberly Sims, MBA, shared a valuable insights, tools, and resources from practices and various project examples that HNTB is doing around the country. The day concluded with the Scholarship Gala, where COMTO Headquarters presented the 2024 National Scholars, supporting the legacy of #minorities in #transportation. It was inspiring to see students pursuing careers in the transportation industry. #NMTC24
