Abstract
This report consists of summaries of the
presentations given at the February 21, 2008, forum: Sidewalks and Shared-Use Paths:
Improving Mobility and Designing Transit Ready Communities, held at the Clayton Hall
conference center on the University of Delaware’s Newark campus. This project is the
continuation of a multi-stage process that involved evaluating techniques to improve compliance
with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), to better design and engineer trail infrastructure
and pedestrian facilities to meet ADA mandates, and to encourage land-use patterns/development
practices that integrate transit with the planning and design of transportation facilities.
