Register for the last session in CSCRS’s final Research to Practice Bytes series examining COVID street transformations w/presenter @DrTCombs (hey that's me)
When: May 31, 2:30-3pm (EDT)
Where: https://unc.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_X2B7zBAeTRuNw8V2yZUlIA#/registration
Who: me, you, all our #SafeSystem friends
Why: because #COVID19 changed everything, including how we use, think about, and plan for streets. And also because it's the last #webinar for this amazing organization.

Y'all, that's me. That's was my session. I *told* you it was awesome!!! And inspiring.

(also it was recorded so ought to pop up on the youtube soon)

#NationalBikeSummit #BikeTooter #SlowStreets #COVIDstreets #ShiftingStreets

We'll be talking about what communities & transportation agencies learned from their experiences rolling out #COVID19-related street space changes, and how those experiences are leading to new best practices in allocation/use of #StreetSpace.

What questions do *you* want us to tackle in the session? What lessons do *you* think we need to take away from #COVIDstreets? Drop 'em here before the session & I'll see how many we can get to.

#ShiftingStreets

The very beginning of #ShiftingStreets, aka my personal way of coping with the early #pandemic sense of helplessness, which quickly snowballed into the biggest, hardest, most chaotic, most famous, most impactful, and most exciting #research project I've ever undertaken.

I can't believe it's almost been 3 years...and we're still at it.

‼️ Do you work for a city or town that has changed its approach to divvying up #StreetSpace as a result of the #COVID19 #pandemic? If so, we need to hear from you!

Since the beginning of the pandemic (3 years ago!) a small team of researchers--with help from an army of volunteer #CrowdSourcers around the world--has been documenting the ways in which city streets evolved to meet changing demands for public space. 🧵

Hey #transportation world: Has your local agency changed its attitudes and perceptions about the use of public #StreetSpace in the wake of the #COVID19 #pandemic? Have you formalized this shift into new #practices?

If so, I'd *love* to hear from you. Please @ me or drop a reply below.

#Planning #Streets #ShiftingStreets #COVIDstreets

Hi Mastofriends. I need some help. I'm looking for information about a few very specific cities' #COVIDStreets interventions. Specifically, I need details about:
#Trikala #Greece
#Leicester & #Middlesborough #UK
#Katowice #Poland

If you're familiar with any of those cities' efforts to reallocate #Street space during the #Pandemic, please let me know! We're plugging gaps in our #ShiftingStreets #COVID #mobility #database.

reply in the thread, or at https://unc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eJsW9GTfReLKZr8

Thank you!!!

Hey new (and old) friends! It's great to connect.

During the #COVID19 pandemic, bird users around the world helped me identify ways #cities were adapting street space to new #transport needs. This effort became the #ShiftingStreets COVID #Mobility Database, and it's pretty rad IMHO. I'd love to see the effort continue here, so please help me spread the word to the fediverse:
