Title:
3rd Urban Street Symposium: Uptown, Downtown, or Small Town: Designing Urban Streets That Work, June 24-27, 2007, Seattle, Washington
Abstract:
This CD-ROM contains the proceedings from the 3rd Urban Street Symposium, held in Seattle, Washington, June 24-27, 2007. The Urban Street Symposium provided a forum to: compare and debate alternative suburban/urban street design practices; highlight discussion of problems caused by certain design practices and identify alternatives; promote research applications; examine long-held urban street design practices in light of the "new urbanism" movement; document better suburban/urban street design practices; promote the sharing of experience and innovations; transfer urban street research findings to state agencies and to local governments; and provide case studies and "how to" workshops. The symposium brought together individuals with experience or interest in urban street design and operations and provided a unique opportunity for participants to exchange information and explore the myriad of issues that must be addressed. The symposium addressed the planning and design of urban streets from the perspectives of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, the disabled, transit users, and the greater community.
