This approach has resulted in countless intersections that are much larger than they need to be; intersections where pedestrians and bicyclists confront long crossings that leave them exposed to turning vehicle traffic moving quickly along large corner radii. Balancing access for more infrequent larger vehicles with […]
Mobility is undergoing multiple dramatic shifts. Cities, regions, and states are responding with a range of policy, planning, and design strategies. Join Alta’s New Mobility Innovation Lab to discuss new insights for multi-modal transportation planning and practical approaches to future-proofing design. Complete Streets 2.0 – Rethinking how we design to accommodate more modes in the public right-of-way […]
The newest trends in mobility are small, cheap, nimble, and shared. What does the rise of micro-mobility mean for your community? In this Alta Innovation Lab webinar, you will learn from two cities tackling the opportunity head-on: Aurora, Colorado which was one of the first dockless bike share permitting programs in the country, and St. Louis, MO which enacted a permitting policy that includes a social equity component.
Since the release of the Small Town and Rural Multimodal Networks Guide, many stakeholders have turned their attention toward implementation. How has it worked for other small towns and rural communities?
