This project expanded an existing course to include these learning objectives:
- learn principles of bicycle and pedestrian facility design
- understand integration of bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the right-of-way
- understand basic transportation research and data collection methods
- apply course content through project work
The course focused on improving bicycle and pedestrian connects to the Portland State University campus. Teams of graduate and undergraduate students worked to develop a problem statement, identify stakeholders, recommend a public involvement process, develop evaluation criteria and alternative solutions, evaluate alternatives, select a preferred alternative, and create a grant application.
The course received excellent reviews from the students, who found it useful to apply design and planning principles to a project. It provides a model for course expansion on related topics and can be shared and adapted for use elsewhere.
