Designing Road Diets as a Tool for Walkability and Community Revitalization

July 14, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Participants of this live webinar are eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits.

A growing number of communities are using road diets to make neighborhoods more walkable, to create complete streets, and to slow down traffic as part of other streetscape and revitalization projects.
