Sunday Video: How To Retrofit Stroads in the Suburbs

Stephen Fesler - June 16, 2024

Dave Amos of City Beautiful picks out some egregious stroads in Appleton, Wisconsin to retrofit for people walking and biking while maintaining much of the existing capacity for existing vehicle trip demand. Amos uses Streetmix to demonstrate what could be done in these harder-to-change environments.
