Title:
2ND URBAN STREET SYMPOSIUM: UPTOWN, DOWNTOWN, OR SMALL TOWN: DESIGNING URBAN STREETS THAT WORK, JULY 28-30, 2003, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA
Abstract:
This CD-ROM contains the proceedings from the 2nd Urban Street Symposium, held in Anaheim, California, July 28-30, 2003. 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; 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 consisted of the following sessions: (1) Urban Street Design - Coming at it from Different Directions; (2) Pedestrians; (3) Access Management; (4) Transit and Multimodal Facilities; (5) Learning from the Projects; (6) Challenges in Urban Street Design; (7) Smart Growth; (8) Roundabouts; (9) Context Sensitive Design; (10) Intersections; (11) Schools; and (12) Cross Section. Included as appendices are the Symposium Program and the 1st Urban Street Symposium Proceedings.
