Just wrapped a really sweet study on the impacts of local and state level supports for street space reallocations during the #COVID19 pandemic. Full report is coming; for now, enjoy a summary of our findings & recommendations. Narrated by UNC DCRP student Sam Hayes (who's awesome, btw).

We'll be talking about what communities & transportation agencies learned from their experiences rolling out #COVID19-related street space changes, and how those experiences are leading to new best practices in allocation/use of #StreetSpace.
What questions do *you* want us to tackle in the session? What lessons do *you* think we need to take away from #COVIDstreets? Drop 'em here before the session & I'll see how many we can get to.
βΌοΈ Do you work for a city or town that has changed its approach to divvying up #StreetSpace as a result of the #COVID19 #pandemic? If so, we need to hear from you!
Since the beginning of the pandemic (3 years ago!) a small team of researchers--with help from an army of volunteer #CrowdSourcers around the world--has been documenting the ways in which city streets evolved to meet changing demands for public space. π§΅
Hey #transportation world: Has your local agency changed its attitudes and perceptions about the use of public #StreetSpace in the wake of the #COVID19 #pandemic? Have you formalized this shift into new #practices?
If so, I'd *love* to hear from you. Please @ me or drop a reply below.
Looking for more information about how #cities adapted #StreetSpace during #COVID19? We have an #OpenAccess paper that summaries the first 6 months of actions, describes how to use our data, and lays out a research agenda for #transport #planning and policy
