PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT - URBAN CONSORTIUM INFORMATION BULLETIN

The report examines: (1) why walking in the central city has become increasingly unattractive to the pedestrian (narrow sidewalks, dirt, derelicts and crime), (2) pedestrian safety (engineering, education, enforcement, and child protection), and (3) pedestrian passageways and malls. The report, which is an introductory review of the pedestrian movement topic, includes a description of issues and problems as seen by the cities, a list of contacts and current programs and an annotated bibliography.
