ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

It would not have been possible to produce Pro Walk/Pro Bike 2012: Pro Place® without the involve- ment of many other organizations, agencies, and individuals. We would like to acknowledge and thank all who contributed to this event. We offer our heartfelt appreciation to two very special groups of people: the Program Committee and the Local Host Committee. The Program Committee members helped us organize, score, prioritize, and refine a record number of proposals. The Local Host Committee members worked tirelessly to secure sponsorships; to build an active transportation legacy in Long Beach and the region by bringing advocates and transportation professionals to the conference; to develop the mobile workshops and our social events; and to showcase the best Long Beach has to offer conference attendees. Thank you!

THANKS TO MEDIA SPONSORS WELCOME

Dear Pro Walk/Pro Bike: Pro Place Participants,

Welcome and thank you for joining us for the 17th Pro Walk/Pro Bike conference. Convening this conference is an honor and a privilege for Project for Public Spaces, which since 1975 has pursued the same goal as all of you: restoring the health of the community and individual by planning and designing the public realm for people. We eagerly await the opportunity to spend the next few days together discussing—among other things—how focusing on Place can help strengthen the movement for more and better walking and bicycling.

Pro Walk/Pro Bike has grown into a gathering of remarkable breadth and depth thanks to: the 1-in-4 attendees who are also here to present; the many professional associations and organizations that are committed to the professional development of our advocates, planners, engineers, and public health practitioners; the long-standing sponsorship support of Federal Highway Administration, Bikes Belong, and League ofamerican Bicyclists; and the local support of California Active Communities, Choose Health LA, LA Metro, and the Port of Long Beach.

Whether you are a presenter, a delegate, a sponsor, or an exhibitor, we are united in our desire to live in happier, healthier cities and towns where active transportation is the safest, easiest, and most comfortable way to get around. We often say that, when dealing with public spaces, you have to turn everything upside-down to get it right-side up. Advocates for walking and bicycling have been shaking things up for decades, and we’re thrilled to be joining you at this year’s conference to build a unified movement for transformative change.

Thank you all so much for being here and we hope you enjoy Pro Walk/Pro Bike: Pro Place!

Best regards,

Fred Kent President, Project for Public Spaces

The National Center for Bicycling & Walking (NCBW) is a resident program at Project for Public Spaces, Inc. NCBW was established in 1977 as the Bicycle Federation ofamerica, Inc. NCBW’s mission is to create bicycle-friendly and walkable communities. The aim of the NCBW program is to change the way communities are planned, designed and managed to ensure that people of all ages and abilities can walk and bike easily, safely and regularly. The changes needed to make communities more physically active places will be achieved only through sustained action at the local level demanded by the public and supported by positive national, state, and local policies and programs.

The opportunity to walk and cycle in a community yields benefits to all members: youth, senior citizens, recreational cyclists, transit riders, and local businesses. We believe that all communities wish to become more livable, healthier places. The NCBW works with the public to articulate their desires, and with local institutions to ensure that they have the capacity and expertise to make great places.

About Project for Public Spaces

The Project for Public Spaces (PPS) is a nonprofit planning, design and educational organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain public spaces that build stronger communities. The organization’s pioneering Placemaking approach helps citizens transform their public spaces into vital places that highlight local assets, spur rejuvenation and serve common needs. This focus on place has always included an emphasis on creating communities that nurture bicycling and walking. PPS was founded in 1975 to expand on the work of William (Holly) Whyte. Since then, PPS has completed proj- ects in over 3000 communities in 40 countries and all 50 US states.

Fred Kent, President of PPS, has always said: “When we focus on place, we do everything differently.” In its broadest application, Placemaking is a catalyst for building healthy, sustainable and economically viable cities. Through research, conferences, and strategic partnerships, PPS promotes Placemaking as a transformative agenda to address some of the most pressing issues of our time. In 2011, the National Center for Bicycling & Walking (NCBW) became a resident program of PPS. Since then, PPS has worked with NCBW to promote a balanced transportation system and subsequently, healthier individuals and communities.

Survey results indicate that all roadway user groups desired the addition of similar roadway design features to enhance the corridor’s safety and attractiveness. Specifically, bicycle lanes were the most requested design element to increase traffic safety for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists, followed closely by improved pedestrian crossings. The results support Complete Streets policy, showing that design features generally assumed to benefit only one group may also benefit other roadway users.
