Previous members of the bike board,
If for some strange reason you aren't already overloaded with virtual meetings these days, here's another one happening in about two hours that might be of interest. I'll be joining.
Anticipate a long email from me soon about some opportunities and suggestions for you moving forward. I know that Chip mentioned wanting to convene in April (before reality of pandemic set in) - if you want to do so and I can help, please let me know.
Best, Drew

Join us for a webinar on Thursday, April 2 [https://mcusercontent.com/17d651f5e7a6b4afc2192595c/images/7b7fca1b-0035-446...] https://tooledesign.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=17d651f5e7a6b4afc2192595c&id=e5c5f6fdd8&e=a039171cd1 Webinar: Rebalancing Streets for People
Communities around the world are adapting to a new normal. One unanticipated dilemma is how to enable people to walk, bike, and run outside while still social distancing. Popular parks and trails are filled with people exercising, getting some fresh air, and taking care of their mental health. Sidewalks and bike lanes are at capacity as essential workers walk, ride, and scoot instead of taking transit. At the same time, many streets are eerily empty of cars.
The pressure is on to re-balance our streets, at least temporarily, to provide more safe places for people to walk, bike, and run while maintaining a safe physical distance from each other. How do we make this transformation happen?
Join us on Thursday, April 2 at 2:00 Eastern to hear Toole Design staff share essential techniques to quickly implement street redesigns in a free, one-hour webinar.

* Identifying opportunities to reallocate road space to active transportation (e.g. reusing special event and Open Streets routes) * Establishing design principles and parameters for quick-build infrastructure * Recommending traffic control and separation devices to promote safer operations * Temporary signing and wayfinding needs * How to promote good behavior with effective messaging
Presenters Jeremy Chrzan, P.E., PTOE, and Gwen Shaw, EIT, will share practical information from rapid implementation street redesign projects in cities around the country, including Houston, New Orleans, Portland, and others.
