2:00 PM to 3:00 PM

Green Action Centre will be hosting the following APBP (Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals) webinar on Bike Boxes. If you would like to join us, please let us know at beth@greenactioncentre.ca or 925-3772. Hope you can join us!

The webinar will have two main sections:

• The evolution of bike box design, citing examples in the UK and northern Europe, and including a discussion of details such as coordinating traffic signals, signal phasing, and cost/durability of different materials.
• A presentation about Portland Oregon’s study of how bike boxes perform for motorists and bicyclists at ten locations. Although there are bike boxes in a number of US cities now, Portland has probably done the most experimentation and evaluation.

Presenters:

• Christopher Monsere, Assistant Professor at Portland State University, and
• Tom Bertulis, formerly of the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, and now a doctoral student at Northeastern University.
