• Covid-19 Street Rebalancing Guide

    Type Journal Article
    Abstract FCM and the Urban Project convened city officials and thought-leaders from across Canada to explore key learnings from the early weeks of the COVID-19 crisis, solutions leveraging active transportation networks, and communications strategies to ensure residents know options for safe mobility are available — and developed a street rebalancing guide to help communities re-open safely. This COVID-19 Street Rebalancing Guide is for decision-makers and practitioners alike. Drawing on case studies from around the world, it offers strategies and practical guidance on rebalancing streets through three phases of COVID-19 response—from immediate to longer-term—including pedestrian and bike lanes, curbside queuing areas, and temporary patios and parklets.

  • Guide : Réallouer l’espace de rue dans le contexte de la COVID-19

    Type Journal Article
    Abstract La FCM et le Projet urbain ont réuni des dirigeants municipaux et des leaders d’opinion de tout le Canada pour examiner les principales leçons tirées des premières semaines de la crise de la COVID-19, les solutions mobilisant les réseaux de transport actif, et les stratégies de communication visant à faire savoir aux résidents qu’il existe des options de mobilité sécuritaire. Ces experts ont subséquemment élaboré un guide de réallocation de l’espace de rue pour aider les collectivités à reprendre leurs activités en toute sécurité. Le guide Réallouer l’espace de rue dans le contexte de la COVID-19 est destiné aux décideurs et aux spécialistes. S’appuyant sur des études de cas provenant du monde entier, il propose des stratégies et des conseils pratiques sur la réallocation de l’espace de rue dans le contexte de la COVID-19, en trois phases d’intervention allant de l’immédiat au long terme, qui impliquent notamment l’aménagement de voies piétonnes et cyclables, de zones d’attente en bordure des trottoirs, et de terrasses et placottoirs temporaires.

  • Reopening Archives, Libraries, and Museums (REALM) Information Hub: A COVID-19 Research Project

    Type Web Page
    Abstract As libraries and museums around the country begin to resume operations and reopen to the public, the need for clear information to support the handling of core museum, library, and archival materials has become increasingly urgent. OCLC, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and Battelle are conducting research on how long the COVID-19 virus survives on materials that are prevalent in libraries, archives, and museums. The project will draw upon the research to produce authoritative, science-based information on how—or if— materials can be handled to mitigate exposure to staff and visitors.

  • Research shows virus undetectable on five highly circulated library materials after three days

    Type Web Page
    Abstract DUBLIN, Ohio, 22 June 2020—In the first phase of a project to develop and disseminate science-based information about how materials can be handled to mitigate exposure to staff and visitors, scientists have found that the virus SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 is not detectable on five common library materials after three days. The findings are part of the Reopening Archives, Libraries, and Museums (REALM) Project designed to generate scientific information to support the handling of core museum, library, and archival materials as these institutions begin to resume operations and reopen to the public. The first phase of the research is focusing on commonly found and frequently handled materials, especially in U.S. public libraries.

  • The new landscape of bike-vehicle roadsharing during & after COVID-19

    Type Blog Post
    Abstract Now more than ever, we all appreciate the benefits of getting outside, being active, and exploring alternate options for commuting or just getting around town. When restrictions began in March due to COVID-19, walking and biking took centre stage as a safer and healthier option for getting around. We saw many jurisdictions across Canada take measures to increase accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists while ensuring the required 2m physical distancing.
