*APBP webinar | Wed, July 16th, 2014 | 2:00-3:00 pm*
Reducing vehicle speed helps create safer roadway conditions for
pedestrians and cyclists. Join this webinar to learn about the value of
establishing transition zones that guide drivers to change behavior in
order to slow traffic in advance of special sections of roadway. The
presentation includes guidance for creating physical changes to the roadway
and border. The value of gateways, roundabouts and other tools are
discussed; examples of both rural and urban transitions are considered.

Interesting article on bike shares and the role they can play as part of transit (and transit-oriented development) - references an upcoming study that I will keep an eye out for.
