Santa Clara County-San Jose Street Design Workshop

Conference
Mar 12, 2015 - Mar 13, 2015
3/12/15 9:00 am, Mar 12, 2015 - 5:00 pm, Mar 13, 2015
San Jose, CA
Santa Clara County-San Jose Street Design Workshop

San José and cities across Santa Clara County face a challenge familiar to many U.S. cities: becoming more equitable, sustainable and safer places to live, work, and play, while connecting a growing population to jobs, neighborhoods, and businesses. Prioritizing spatially efficient modes – transit, biking, and walking – is critical for these cities. Yet the street network inherited from earlier waves of growth was designed to serve the automobile, with only secondary consideration for other modes. Now, under new state and national design standards, municipalities have an opportunity to design more livable and more efficient streets to meet their community goals. Streets in every city and town in Santa Clara County, and every neighborhood of San José, can become sustainable places for people – if the streets change along with their cities.

Through the leadership of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, City of San José, and
Caltrans, NACTO will convene leaders and designers from across Santa Clara County in a
dynamic two-day workshop to set a vision for sustainable streets, drawing on the NACTO Urban
Street Design and Urban Bikeway Design Guides. By examining local and national success stories – from overarching vision to program management to design details – the workshops provide an
opportunity to accelerate the rollout of sustainable streets in Santa Clara’s cities and towns.

On the morning of Thursday March 12th, elected officials, policymakers, and city directors will
gather to discuss their visions in Changing Streets, Changing Cities. A bike tour of focus projects, led by Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, will bring together city officials, civic leaders, and designers to visit opportunity sites near San José City Hall. In the afternoon, a mobile workshop facilitated by NACTO and City of San José will examine public space opportunity sites near Plaza de Cesar Chavez, then return to a workshop to redesign these streets as places for people.

On Thursday evening, civic leaders, public officials, designers, planners, and advocates from around the region will meet at SPUR San José to talk about how San José and cities across Santa Clara County – along with cities around the country and around the world – are transforming their streets into Streets for Everyone.

On Friday March 13th, city planners, transportation engineers, and public works staff will gather for a technical training workshop on Designing Better Streets and Bikeways. The session will focus on how to design safe, multi-modal streets and public spaces, using the NACTO Guides as templates. The first half of the session will review the content of the Guide, looking at specific street typologies, design controls and metrics, and interim design strategies. During the second half of the day, participants will examine the Keyes-Story corridor in San José, focusing on multimodal safety, transit, and creating a quality public space through a site visit and design exercise.
