Challenge

Robinson Street is a roadway along downtown Orlando’s premier park space. However, it is also a barrier for pedestrian and bicycle access, and mobility. This is a highly contentious project: the surrounding neighborhoods’ fear of auto traffic diversion and the need for bicycle and pedestrian access created two factions of stakeholders.

Solution

Data-supported planning, developed by Kittelson, dispelled myths about the project and helped stakeholders to understand the trade-offs and explore the full range of potential solutions.
