This year\u0027s topic will ask \u0022Who owns the streets?\u0022 As Atlanta moves away from a principally car-focused orientation for its roads and looks towards more complete streets, how can planners and designers equitably distribute these physical spaces between different uses and users? Who should have the authority to make decisions about streets-- the parties that own them, the current users that take advantage of them, potential future users, or the communities through which the roads run and often play a large part in defining? As we move in this direciton, there does not seem to be an understood precedent on many of this issues, and this has been made clear through the clashes surrounding the addition of bike lanes, potential transit priority, and even painting rainbow crosswalks on the street. Join us as we bring together traffic engineers, cyclists, and representatives from PEDS, MARTA, GDOT, and local communities in order to engage this necessary conversation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe program starts a little after 6:30 pm in the Georgia Tech College of Architecture Auditorium, with a reception serving light refreshments beforehand at 6:00 pm.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECheck out the facebook event here: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1714653888753990\/\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1714653888753990\/\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1714653888753990\/\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAny questions can be sent directly to Blake Reeves at b_reeves@gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWho Owns the Streets?
