Make Way for People is a new program launched by the Chicago Department of Transportation that promotes temporary or easily removable strategies for quickly and inexpensively creating new public space in the public right of way. The program consists of four initiatives: People Spots, People Streets, People Plazas, and People Alleys. Janet L. Attarian, project director at the Chicago Department of Transportation, will discuss how this program was developed, review the projects implemented to date, and how the Department is evaluating these initiatives and setting guidelines for further expansion.
