Abstract:<\/h2>\n
Context<\/em><\/p>\nRoadworks, utility work and other construction activity that closes sidewalks and intersections put pedestrians in a very unsafe situation. Without a secure alternative pathway, pedestrians will enter the street rather than terminate their trip. The OTM Book 7 published January 2014 describes how pedestrian routes through sidewalk closures are to be handled in Ontario. Part 6 of the 2009 Edition of the MUTCD describes how these routes are to be designed in the US. Describe the current practice [policy?] in Ontario for guiding pedestrians through sidewalk closures.<\/p>\n
Objectives<\/em><\/p>\n*Describe the current practice in [policy?] the US for guiding pedestrians through sidewalk closures.
\n*Highlight successes and identify concerns of pedestrians and sidewalk closures.
\n*Identify areas of safe pedestrian access that require additional study.
\n*recommend a process for an agency to implement an accessible sidewalk closure program [policy?].<\/p>\n
Target Group<\/em><\/p>\n*Policy makers at ministerial, city, town levels.
\n*Risk managers at agencies, utilities and contractors whose projects close sidewalks.
\n*Designers of projects that close sidewalks.
\n*Groups that encourage people to walk more to improve health.<\/p>\n
Activities<\/em><\/p>\nUse a slide deck presentation that addresses the objectives. Present the information with a panel composed of subject matter experts from Ontario and the US.<\/p>\n
Deliverables<\/em><\/p>\n*Understanding of the requirements of safe, accessible sidewalk construction
\n*Understanding of OTM-Book 7 and MUTCD part 6 as they relate to sidewalk construction
\n*A process to develop a policy on accessible sidewalk construction '<\/p>\n
