DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS AND OPEN STREETS
- Go Human – Events - Developed by SCAG, the Go Human campaign encourages people to walk and bike by hosting open streets events and safety demonstration projects. These events and projects showcase re-designed streets with safety in mind, highlighting improvements like protected bike lanes and enhanced crosswalks. Community members experience for themselves what potential or planned infrastructure changes can look and feel like, and have the opportunity to share feedback with city staff.
