Engineers Australia (QLD Division)
MOVING PEOPLE, GOODS AND MINDS RATHER THAN MOVING CARS
Venue: Hawken Auditorium
Engineering House
Level One
447 Upper Edward Street
Brisbane
Date: Thursday 5 June 2008
Time: 5:30 for 6pm start
The University Hill Transportation Study for the City of Syracuse, NY illustrates the benefits of focusing on moving people, goods and minds rather than moving cars. The study area is home to two universities and five major hospitals as well as a wide array of other uses. Each institution anticipated substantial growth which would strain the highway capacity and parking supply in the study area.
This presentation will discuss the benefits and constraints of a broad range of actions including the joint development of a mixed use transit oriented development, the introduction of light rail (streetcar) and a mobility hub network, the establishment bike and pedestrian placemaking improvements, creation of a parking authority to manage parking and encourage transit use, and elimination of the existing interstate highway bisecting the study area and the
CBD.
Presented by:
Mr Brian McMahon - Principal Transit Oriented Development Consultant

critical component of successfully moving forward on our land use and transportation issues
