he NJBWC Summit is New Jersey’s statewide meeting of bicycle and pedestrian advocates, elected officials and other township leaders, transportation and urban planners, bike shop owners and managers, cycling, walking, fitness and health enthusiasts and experts, recreation, trails and club leaders and others who are interested in making our state a better place to live.
Drawing on the momentum for change spurred by the pandemic, NJBWC is pleased to offer you the opportunity to learn lessons from communities that took action to open their streets to people, learn more about current Vision Zero, Complete Streets, and equitable mobility initiatives impacting your community, gain insights into different stages of trail development, learn about available public funding sources for your bike/ped projects, and identify strategies to advocate for a more bike and pedestrian friendly and therefore, more livable New Jersey.
DNJ ORGANIZED THE FOLLOWING SESSION:
COVID Lessons Learned: From Tactical to Practical
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2 AT 4:00PM
The pandemic spurred tremendous innovation in tactical approaches to expand the capacity of our streets to more safely accommodate people and commerce. These experiments validated the demand for complete streets that provide a better balance between roadway users. At the same time, many of these pilots highlighted real conflicts that need to be thought through more thoroughly if they are going to transition to permanent solutions. The session will provide advice for those looking to transition from tactical to practical implementation of complete streets.
Panelists:
- Mike Lydon, Principal, Street Plans
- Betsy Mastaglio, Manager, Office of Transit, Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning, Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission
- Courtenay D. Mercer, Executive Director, Downtown New Jersey
- Bob Noland, Director of the Voorhees Transportation Center, Director of the PhD program in Planning and Public Policy, and Distinguished Professor at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy
