Green Action Centre and Bike to the Future invite you to join us for a local viewing of the APBP webinar on "Accessibility in Work Zones" at the EcoCentre (3rd floor, 303 Portage Ave) followed by group discussion. An important topic given the challenges pedestrians and cyclists faced this summer (and will do so again next year) with the work on Osborne Bridge, among other projects.
RSVPs appreciated but not necessary. Hope to see you then!

Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) presents:
Accessibility in Work Zones
Wednesday, December 14th • 2:00 to 3:00 pm CST
High-quality pedestrian and bicycle accessibility in work zones
begins with policy that is carried out consistently through planning,
project development and construction. Attend this webinar to learn best
practices

for handling bicycle and pedestrian travel during construction
operations. Attendees will hear how the Minnesota DOT has developed its
standards for Temporary Pedestrian Access Routes (TPARs), including a
workshop, demonstration project and focus group evaluation.
Presenters from Boulder, Colorado, will discuss how that city
worked with developers, contractors and decision-makers to develop a new
work zone traffic control policy that establishes policies and
procedures for pedestrian and bicycle travel during construction
operations and identifies criteria for closing the PROW and designating
alternate routes.
