We got to meet public officials and design experts from around the world, all with a passion for making our world less centered on automobile transportation. We also had a chance to see the many recent and innovative pedestrian and bike facilities developed in and around NYC. It was amazing to see so much done in such a short period of time. We brought home many new ideas for fitting bike and ped facilities in challenging locations.

Check out the link here for more information about the conference, including a short video. If you have any questions about the conference, Walk21, or the innovative ped and bike treatments in NYC, drop us a line.
