dc.description.abstractCities are seeking to find ways to shift their transportation culture to incorporate more active modes in the face of evidence that suggests overall benefits for urban areas as a whole of doing so. From investing in more public transit and cycling infrastructure as part of Complete Streets efforts, to policies for land use and social campaigns that promote active transportation habits, American cities have seemingly tried it all. Except for traffic gardens. Only a handful of cities have experimented with this type of culture-shifting infrastructure, which consists of a miniature network of streets where users can learn to ride bicycles safely on the road. On the back of efforts including a report issued by students in the Real World Eugene class, the city of Eugene, Oregon is attempting to bring one to their Metro Area.en_US
