Workshop Tool: Complete Streets Game

2. WORKSHOP TOOL: COMPLETE STREETS GAME

Year: 2018 - 2020 Organisation: The Centre for Active Transportation (TCAT) Type of project: Participatory planning

The Complete Streets Game is a workshop tool that allows participants to design a street together while understanding what the opportunities and trade-offs of the process are. The game consists of magnetic pieces that represent different components of a street like sidewalks, bike lanes, vehicle lanes, transit lanes etc. The game also consists of a Right-Of-Way ruler on which the street can be built. The tactile nature of the game allows for a collaborative design experience and allows for design to be accessible to those who are not adept at drawing or design.

For this game, I reviewed different design guidelines such as NACTO design guides, TAC design guide and OTM Book 18 to develop the components of the game.

I also helped develop the content for the Instructions Guide and also designed it. Post production, I facilitated couple of workshops with the Game.
