High-speed, car-oriented roads can be transformed into safe, multimodal streets for all users by reducing lane widths, limiting long sight-lines, and adding visual friction. Unfortunately, these projects involve a long and expensive planning, approval, design, and construction process, which often triggers vocal opposition. A similar traffic-calming impact can be achieved with a temporary, low-cost installation consisting of paint, posts, and planters.

This webinar will focus on how to use quick-build demonstration projects to build community support for permanent solutions. Ian Thomas will present America Walks’ Top 10 Tips for successful quick-builds:

• How to do “geometric design”
• Best practices for obtaining a permit
• Where to source your materials
• The importance of community engagement
