The historical purpose of street design since the industrial revolution has been to move as much motorized traffic as quickly as possible from one point to another. Of course, based on this optic the focus of street design has been the automobile. Now, times have changed and there is a renewed interest in the health and welfare of our communities to convert our automobile-centered streets into livable spaces to support the growth of our communities. Through this course, engineers, planners architects, contractors, and practitioners within the A/E/C industry will learn the principles for making livable streets by designing for walkability and use of their surrounding communities.

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

Enumerate the four zones that a sidewalk is divided into, in order to provide ample space for community connectivity that promotes the welfare of the public.
Based on a specific roadway posted speed limit and vehicular traffic identify the best suited bicycle facility that improves the health and safety of vulnerable users.
Describe at least one difference between pedestrian and vehicular scale lighting that focuses on the safety and welfare of the public.
Describe the four groups of tree species used in a complete street design that simplify initial roadway design and placement, and which are used to benefit the walkability and usability of roadway corridors by surrounding communities.
