Rethinking the Right-of-Way
Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at 3:45PM
Atlantic City Convention Center
In recent years, communities have re-envisioned the public Right-of-Way (ROW) to reduce the amount of space dedicated to cars, and increase space for pedestrians, active transportation, public transit, and other uses. Experts from the public and private sectors shared regional best practices on how to maximize sidewalk space, implement street closures, and program for pedestrian spaces in an effort to activate and revitalize downtowns. They also provide empirical evidence that rethinking the ROW works!
