CDRPC Local Government Workshop Webinar: Open Streets in the Capital Region, Opportunities out of COVID Challenges
August 27, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Free
Communities across the US and around the world are remaking their streets, sidewalks and outdoor space in response to COVID challenges. Hear about trends around the country, and how two Capital Region communities were able to quickly pivot and provide “streateries”, recreation, and public art on their local streets. Open street possibilities also exist for NYS routes with NYSDOT’s permitting process and will be discussed.
Post COVID will this popular activity continue? The potential for permanent activities in the future will also be highlighted.
Presenters: Katie Hammon, Executive Director of the Troy BID, Chris Spencer, Commissioner of Development and Planning for the City of Albany and Liz Kormos, Village of Ballston Spa Trustee.
