Third Avenue -Education / Community

Archeworks will work to promote the long range development of an environmentally friendly intermediate transportation infrastructure in urban environments to accommodate new modes of personal transportation. Partner organization Public Policy Caucuses generated the concept of the "third avenue," which, as part of the overall regional plan, dramatically combines the need for low-speed, short-distance and energy-efficient commuter transportation with new concepts in surface water management infrastructure in a creative synergy. Archeworks will work in the city of Chicago to (1) develop specific concepts for the establishment of the “third avenue,” (2) to advocate public policies designed to implement the construction of “third avenue” infrastructure, and (3) create public awareness and demand for “third avenue” development. The hope is that these ideas could be included in proposals for Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics.
