Do you value safe places for people to walk and ride a bicycle? This session discusses traffic calming tools and how they are being used effectively. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for safe places for people to walk and bike within their neighborhoods and has generated new ideas to repurpose public space toward this goal. This session discusses the traffic calming toolbox and provides real-world data on performance outcomes. Our panelists provide case studies from the USA (Scott Ogilvie from the City of St. Louis), Canada (Jen Malzer from the City of Calgary), and New Zealand (Don McKenzie from the City of Auckland).
The session wraps up with tips for moving forward in our post- pandemic world and provides time for questions and answers. If you are interested in safer streets for all road users, this session is for you! |
