As a result of COVID, American cities are reallocating their streets. The changed plans may be temporary for now, but any changes made during COVID could have long-term impact for our communities' pandemic-aware built-environment. Recognizing this opportunity to re-envision how streets work, we're gathering placemakers to help spread innovative policies and work with community-based groups and independent small businesses to facilitate site-specific help planning their outdoor space.
