• Abstract:
  This policy paper focuses on the primary concept of the street as space that can be repurposed – real estate that can be allocated in similar or different ways than done currently. Cities generally refer to this publicly owned and regulated space from one side of the street to the other as the right of way (ROW). The focus is on the centrality of the ROW in dictating many other community functions and values – transportation and otherwise. And the particular bias is to focus on the opportunities that autonomous vehicle (AV) technology is likely to create to rethink how the ROW is allocated, so that communities can meet their substantial and unique environmental, social, and economic challenges.
