Trail Planning Authors Busy Teaching
Tiberon

As you might expect, Solano Press authors are active professionals and leaders in their fields, often making conference presentations, teaching classes, and writing journal articles. Here's what the authors of Trail Planning for California Communities are up to:

Trail book chapter author Michelle DeRobertis is teaching an online course at UC Berkeley in 2011-2012 called Bikeway Planning and Design. The class is organized into three parts:

 

1) On-street design and implementation [October 25-27, 2011],

2) Planning, Policy and Liability [Winter 2012], and

3) Bicycle paths, bridge and tunnels [Spring/Summer 2012]. Chapter author Patrick Miller will be a co-instructor on the third portion of the class.

The Summer 2011 edition of the AEP’s Environmental Monitor featured a lead article, Creating Trails to Benefit Communites, by Trail Planning authors Julie Bondurant, AICP, Laura Thompson, and Judith H. Malamut, AICP.

Trail Planning for California Communities has won several awards from professional organizations, and a number of the authors have participated in conferences throughout California, including APA, AEP, ASLA and California Trails Conference.
