In recent years, communities have re-envisioned the public right-of-way (ROW) to reduce the amount of space dedicated to cars, and increase space for pedestrians, active transportation, public transit, and other uses. Panelists will share regional best practices on how to maximize sidewalk space, implement street closures, and program for pedestrian spaces in an effort to revitalize downtowns, as well as provide empirical evidence that rethinking the ROW works.
