Description:

This course is intended to provide transportation professionals and advocates an introduction into the basics of complete streets design and implementation. This is a field-based course that will start at a location where a brief background into complete streets design can be provided, including going over terminology and introducing key reference materials. The course will then go out into the streets of Bellingham, WA to tour complete streets designs. In the field, we will examine the engineering treatments, identify constraints that planners and engineers must consider in designing facilities, and examine best practices and prior practices that are falling out of favor. Additionally, there will be guest speakers from jurisdictions in the region to discuss implementation challenges and solutions they have used to get designs funded and in place.
