12/12/2018 0 Comments Geo-DesignSolutions to Problematic Water Street Traffic: Safely Integrating vehicle, bike, and pedestrian trafficOur final project in this class consisted of using geo-design principles to redesign a few intersections and streets near the UWEC campus. Our professor, Dr. Sean Hartnett is a perfect example of the unsafe conditions for bicyclists near the UWEC campus, having been struck by a vehicle while riding his bike to class. The current stretch of road and intersections are not intuitively designed and could hugely benefit from redesign with pedestrians and bicycles in mind.
Once our group had our design and write-up completed, we sent it to the group compiling all designs into one poster. This poster will be presented to the Eau Claire City Council, as well as be implemented into a webpage, which can be viewed by clicking on the image below.
Overall, this project was a great example of what can be done when a large team tackles a problem. We started with the idea that the area was dangerous for bikes and pedestrians, and ended with a completed redesign map poster and webpage. Teamwork was vital in the process, as each team broke down a section of the area and designed it. All of our work came together in the end for the final product.
