Cattle Track Talks
Join us in the CattleTrack Gallery for a stimulating hour with creative and innovative members of our community. Presenters/performers will share their expertise and engage in lively conversation with the audience.
TUESDAY, January 13, 2026
7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Cattle Track Talks will feature:
Ryan Johnson
Founder and CEO of Culdesac.
Tempe’s first car-free neighborhood.
Unlocking Walkable Neighborhoods in the U.S.
Helping more people live walkable lifestyles is the best thing we can do for climate, health, happiness, lower cost of living, and even lower taxes. Most people want walkable neighborhoods, yet decades of U.S. policy and zoning have made them nearly impossible to build.
Ryan will describe how at Culdesac Tempe, they’ve spent the last seven years proving that it’s possible to build mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods from scratch in the United States. Hear how the success of Culdesac Tempe is changing the conversation around what’s possible in American development by proving that everyone wins – residents feel more connected to their communities, cities gain transit riders and vibrant local businesses, and developers can create the kinds of places people actually prefer.
CattleTrack Arts and Preservation supports local artists, craftsmen, and students in our commitment to preserving Scottsdale’s unique cultural heritage. We look forward to seeing the CattleTrack family for this 2025-26 season of CattleTrack Talks.
