SSTI is hosting a webinar on urban freeways on February 20. Given the conversations surrounding several freeway reconstructions/expansions that we are having in Madison - Stoughton Road, University Avenue, Verona Road - this is very timely. Work done on these freeways will impact biking and walking in Madison. The announcement is below.
This is a free webinar! Re-thinking the urban freeway<http://www.ssti.us/Events/re-thinking-the-urban-freeway/> *Event Date: Thursday, February 20, 2014, 1:00 PM Central (2:00 PM Eastern) Location: Webinar* Across the country, urban freeways are at the end of their design lives, and communities are wrestling with the question of how to deal with them. States and cities have the opportunity to re-think, remove, or re-purpose urban freeway space, which can address environmental and social justice harm and result in significant local economic and social benefits. This webinar considers best practices and solutions for aging freeways that states and cities can look towards to help mitigate freeway impacts and secure a healthy and more prosperous future for the communities these roadways travel through. Panelists: Joan McDonald, Commissioner, New York State DOT, and Billy Fields, Assistant Professor, Texas State University http://www.ssti.us/Events/re-thinking-the-urban-freeway/
