Road Conversions & Complete Streets
On September 20th the Complete Streets coalition held a public forum on road conversions. A basic overview of the concept is the value of exploring lane configurations when a community identifies a goal of improving access to people and goods for all users.
The presenters were:
- Bicycle and Pedestrian Planner, William Clark
- Transportation Engineer for the City of Lansing, Andy Kilpatrick.

In addition, here is an excellent overview of the value of road conversions, sometimes referred to as road diets, from StreetFilms.
