CMAP will present the upcoming Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) webinar entitled “Complete Streets: State of the Practice” on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.

The webinar is free.  However, we have limited seating and will limit participation to the first 24 persons who RSVP in response to this post.  If you are interested in attending, please email John O’Neal at joneal@cmap.illinois.gov to reserve your spot.  If space is still available, then he will respond with instructions on attending. 

The webinar will examine the current state of the practice for complete streets. Topics will include:

• How support for complete streets is strengthened as collaboration with public health, transit, and other partners increases.
• A comparison of existing policies and how they match up to guidelines from the National Complete Streets Coalition.
• Examples of best practice at the local and state level.

The webinar will include a presentation on Charlotte, N.C.’s award-winning Urban Streets Design Guidelines and will look at how the city is implementing requirements for developers, which complement the use of public funds in building complete streets.
