Join us, along with our partners at Jersey City, on a field tour showcasing urban transformation through pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, intersection safety techniques, and placemaking. We'll explore how closing slip lanes, adding pedestrian plazas, and incorporating Vision Zero principles are reshaping our streets for walking and biking.
