October 29, 2005

Dan Burden (bio), the leading authority on designing streets that are pedestrian friendly and able to move vehicular traffic safely, gave a workshop for the SACOG region on October 29, 2005 in Rocklin. As a former National Geographic photographer, Mr. Burden is known for his powerful images and presentations that inspire better designed communities. You may find out more about him at walkable.org. He has given his permission to SACOG to share the images from that workshop. He discusses seven different issues about streetscape design, and the files below cover each of those topics.

If you have any questions, please contact Greg Chew of the SACOG Planning Department at gchew@sacog.org or at (916) 340-6227.
