Walk This Way — New Webinar

Sponsored by Context SensitiveSolutions.org (CSS) This free webinar is brought to you by the FHWA, in partnership with the Texas Transportation Institute, Congress for New Urbanism, and Project for Public Spaces. The webinar will be on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, from 10:00 – 11:30 PM Pacfiic

The webinar will cover the brand new, just published recommended practice from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) titled Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares: A Context Sensitive Approach, along with a CSS case study in Elgin, Illinois. The case study covers a pilot project in Elgin, which has 19th century gridded streets, post WWII low density auto dependent development and new underdeveloped areas. The presenters worked with local officials in restoring portions of the old grid, retrofitting the post war sprawl and planning yet to be developed areas to include greater connectivity.
