WORKS


Engineers believe they havebeen building completestreets for decades.

So…What’s new?

Advocates should recognizeand acknowledge that wealready have some of the bestinfrastructure in the world.


How do you harness thepower of the 800 lbGorilla?

…….that can build this

…….to start thinkingabout solving trafficproblems for everyone?

Balance


Pose the problem, don’tjump to the solution!

One size does not fit all.

Safety is Job #1.

Engineers love innovationthat solves problems.

Balance


You can’t have it all!

In the built-out urbanenvironment, there is rarelyroom for everything.

You must make goodchoices.

It’s about solving problemsand building connections.

Balance


Some streets don’tneed fixing!

Should every streethave bike lanes?

Sometimes, it’s thesmall things make allthe difference!
