In this webinar, we’re focusing on the work from our Complete Streets Leadership Academies in Alaska, California, Connecticut, and Tennessee. The leadership academies are designed to increase capacity, improve relationships, and lead to immediate on-the-ground change through quick-build demonstration projects on dangerous state-owned arterials. In this webinar, you’ll hear from program participants and SGA staff as they share what worked, what didn’t, and how those interested in these projects can leverage the experiences from this program to advance street safety in their own communities.
