This week in Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets: a field trip to a cluster of schools located on a narrow, high speed two-lane road, and meeting with #ChapelHillNC planning staff to discuss ways we can make the area safer for kids to get to and from school.
The focus for the 2nd half of the course is on developing design and policy recommendations to support the town's commitment to #SafeStreetsForAll. It's a treat helping our students get this hands on experience.
This week in Complete, Safe, Equitable Streets, we're talking about how to measure travel demand...in the most literal sense of the word: "I demand to be able to get to work, school, the park, wherever, safely, via my chosen travel mode."
We'll cover common approaches to evaluating demand, pitfalls of those approaches, and techniques you can use now to better understand your community's mobility needs.

Today in #PLAN639 at #UNC, we welcomed #Mobycon's Mary Elbech. Mary -- a recurring guest expert in this course -- talked to us about international best practices in #multimodal street design, how those designs often get misunderstood in the US, and how to implement them correctly here.
