Webinar: The Evolution of the Complete Street Concept

Organization:
Transportation Association of Canada
Location:
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Start Date:
February 8, 2017
End Date:
February 8, 2017
Description
The Complete Street approach is driven by the public’s desire to have urban streets with less focus on maximizing vehicle volume and speed, and more focus on active transportation modes such as walking, cycling, and transit. The implementation of complete streets has a number of challenges to resolve, including the legal aspect that governs operation, the design aspect that determines street and intersection geometry, and the planning process aspect that prioritizes investments.

Participants of this webinar will learn to recognize the legal, design and planning process challenges of complete streets through concrete examples, and to identify possible solutions.
