Neighborhood greenways (also called "bicycle boulevards", "local street bikeways", "quiet streets", "fietsstraat", "fahrradstrasse", and others) are growing in popularity as a tool for encouraging bike use on low-traffic streets without dedicated bike facilities, while also introducing traffic calming elements to enhance pedestrian comfort. However, treatments vary and there is little research on the comparative effectiveness of specific elements for bicyclists or pedestrians, or on which elements combine to have benefits greater than the sum of their parts.

This workshop was convened to explore the state of research and practice, and included breakout discussions among workshop attendees to identify priorities for future research and project development. It included presentations by researchers and practitioners on a wide range of topics and scales, from the big and regional (considerations for developing a well-connected low-stress network) to local case studies in both urban and rural contexts, in North America and elsewhere.
