| dc.description.abstract | Downtown Eugene is witnessing an economic resurgence through recent redevelopments. The Capstone Development at 13th Avenue and Olive Street will bolster this progress when 1,200 students move in fall 2013. These students, and thousands more, will use the 13th Avenue corridor to access the UO campus largely by bus, bike and foot. 13th Avenue is already the most popular active transportation route to campus and has the highest number of daily bicyclists in the region, yet the return journey from campus to downtown cannot be made along the same route. The land uses adjacent to 13th Avenue are transforming to support an improving downtown and a growing campus, but the roadway has not yet adapted to these changes, causing concerns about safety and undermining the City of Eugene and the University of Oregon’s policies to support sustainable transportation and urban revitalization. University of Oregon students, as part of an interdisciplinary organization called LiveMove ByDesign, have spent the 2012-2013 academic year conducting a study for the 13th Avenue corridor. Through extensive observation of transportation behavior, parking utilization, and of case studies across the globe, the group developed an alternative roadway re-design that improves safety and access for all modes of transportation. The ByDesign project was student-driven, and provided a cross-disciplinary, real-world, applied, experiential learning project. Through personal participation and interviews of ByDesign group members and professional stakeholders, this research explores the lessons learned from the student-driven experiential learning model and how it could be improved and replicated for future LiveMove projects, other university student groups, or civic groups trying to improve their communities from the bottom-up. | en_US |
