Seminar One in this year’s Seminar Series looks at the theme of cycling and walking as we hear residents complaining that the infrastructure for cycling just isn’t good enough and cyclists feel unsafe on the roads. Pedestrians want to see that walking has a higher priority than cars and that this is reflected in the design of our streets.
