Mobility +1 Workshop
Rethinking the Right-of-Way (ReROW)
October 4, 2024
UBC – Robson Square
8:30AM-1:30PM
Streets and the public right-of-way make up a significant proportion of urban land. Yet these spaces encounter increasing competition (above and sometimes below ground) from various forms of mobility as well as other urban uses, such as greening, economic and social activities, and distribution of utilities. These spaces are vital elements to consider in our efforts to mitigate climate change, create a just society, and foster thriving urban life.
This Mobility +1 workshop will provide a forum for municipal practitioners from throughout the region who work in the mobility space (specifically RTAC members), plus those in other disciplines (bring a colleague!). We want to hear:
- What challenges and opportunities do you face in the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of streets, sidewalks, and other public rights-of-way?
- How can evidence-based research support your staff efforts and your decision-makers?
- How can we share context-specific best practices and research outcomes?
