How does transit work in a social distant world? What do sidewalks look like if we’re staying socially distant? How do we safely ride bikes now that traffic is lighter?
These and other questions are driving planners to imagine a post-lockdown world. WakeUP Wake County wrote a blog post about ways cities can reopen safer and still with a thriving economy. You can read it here.
We wanted to get some thought leaders together to have a discussion about what cities might look like or could look like in the future. So we’re opening our May 2020 Capital Area Friends of Transit (CAFT) meeting to the public and we hope you’ll join in the discussion.
Join speakers from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), City of Raleigh Planning, Town of Garner, GoRaleigh, HNTB, and Transloc for this lively and fun discussion.
Note: This discussion isn’t to influence municipalities. Rather, it’s meant to be a creative exercise in what could be possible.
