Wes focuses on transportation research and teaching dedicated to creating more sustainable, equitable, and resilient transportation systems, particularly in terms of road safety, active transportation, and transit. \nHe has a vast body of work and we discuss several of his most notable studies that have gained attention over the past few years, including his 2019 research paper that highlighted enhanced safety of protected bikeways for all roadways users, not just people cycling.\n\nAdditional Helpful Links:\nActive Towns Landing Page for this Episode\nProfessor Norman Garrick\nActive Towns Landing Page for Peter Norton's Episode\nActive Towns Landing Page for Fietsstraat/Bicycle Priority Street Episode\nActive Towns Landing Page for Jonathan Fertig's Episode\nCentral Park Community (formerly Denver's main airport)\nNew Urbanism\nStreet Network 101 Explains Grided street network versus Tree-like street network as seen in most suburban communities\nLinks to the research papers we hit on:\nWhy cities with high bicycling rates are safer for all road users www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214140518301488\nDoes street network design affect traffic safety? www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001457510003179\nEffect of Street Network Design on Walking and Biking https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3141/2198-12\nCommunity design, street networks, and public health www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214140514000486\nScofflaw bicycling: Illegal but rational www.jstor.org/stable/26211757\nAdvancing healthy cities through safer cycling: An examination of shared lane...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Tkybtmzf0KYuip-R8cMTYcCT6L7ETI0NTQv5EY_NCCI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzgwNjcvMTY0NTE5/MDIxMi1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
