Webinar: The Economic and Fiscal Benefits of Walkable, Bikeable City and Town Centers
This webinar features the experiences of six U.S. cities in creating or increasing the walkability and bicycle-friendliness of their downtown areas. The cities profiled include small towns (Grandview, MO and West Jefferson, NC); medium-sized cities (Orlando, FL, Redmond, WA and Lancaster, CA) and large cities (the Bronx in NYC, Cleveland, OH, and Charlotte, NC). The webinar focuses on the implemented strategies, the resulting increases in walkability and bikeability, and the economic and fiscal benefits of each project. The Bronx and Cleveland examples incorporate Bus Rapid Transit.
