Tactical Urbanism
*Wednesday, Oct. 21st, 2-3pm, EcoCentre
<http://greenactioncentre.ca/content/ecocentre-directions-and-travel-options/>
Boardroom*
Practitioners will discuss how to harness Tactical Urbanism as a tool to
test ideas and designs, collaborate with residents and City agencies, and
bolster project support. The focus of the webinar will be on utilizing
Tactical Urbanism as a three-dimensional, real-world model to engage the
public and also refine designs and test ideas in the field. Case studies
illustrate successful strategies for engaging neighborhood residents, city
agencies, and decision-makers and making them integral to the vision,
design, and implementation of these temporary and semi-permanent
installations. The emphasis of these case studies will be on using Tactical
Urbanism to build city agency and grassroots support while also iteratively
testing design ideas, engaging stakeholders such as emergency services and
city engineers in the field, and using the installation to inform future
design and construction.
*Speakers*:
- David "DK" Kemp, Senior Transportation Planner, City of Boulder
- Mike Lydon, Principal, The Street Plans Collaborative
- Carrie Nielson, Senior Planner, Fehr & Peers

*Thursday, October 29th, 1-2pm, EcoCentre
<http://greenactioncentre.ca/content/ecocentre-directions-and-travel-options/>
Boardroom*
*This webinar will present “Through Road/Main Street Interventions.” This
term refers to sections of public roadways that have a dual purpose,
serving both as the main streets of small or medium-sized communities and
as through routes for motor vehicles.*
*Presenter*: François Gagnon (NCCHPP)
In this webinar, we will introduce:
- What context-sensitive through road/main street design interventions are;
- What evaluations reveal regarding their effects on public health and its
determinants;
- The implications for the practices of actors who would like to promote
them.
Question and exchange periods will be part of the session.

An interesting study looking at the makeup of London cyclists and why some people (and ethnicities) don't cycle. As a side note, there are nearly 2000 comments, and they seem to be largely from insulted white males, which makes a change from the usual 'I nearly got hit by a car/rider yesterday', cyclists running red lights etc. that tends to dominate most comments on cycling articles.

Informative article about business opposition to bike lanes/active transport in the London borough of Enfield. An interesting statistic (on a side graph) is that as of 2011 only 0.9 % of commuters cycle to work in Enfield, while the London average is 2.5 %.
