“Having attended many of Dan Burden’s presentations…I can vouch for his greatest talent: getting people with different viewpoints to agree on a vision for their community, by showing them the untapped beauty and potential they have in their greatest commonly-owned asset – their public streets. And he does it by getting the traffic engineers on board…by making them excited about being involved in change.â€
— Michael Ronkin, Oregon Department of Transportation
