Curbside Management 101

Third episode's a charm! Liza Farr, Curbside Administrator for the City of Providence, joins us to discuss Curbside Management. Didn't know that was a thing? You're not alone. On this episode we talk about Curbside Management as an "invisible force that affects everyone," the environmental and economic benefits of reimagining curb use, and how e-bike/e-scooter shares positively contribute to more effective use of our curb space.

Spotlight: Healthy Communities Office

Plot twist! Our fifth episode is a special one, the first in our Spotlight Series, which will focus on a city department outside of City Planning, but that still has incredibly important ties to planning a city. Today we do a deep dive into Providence's Healthy Communities Office with its director, Laurie Moise Sears. We discuss addressing disparities in healthcare accessibility amongst BIPOC community members, navigating health solutions and advocacy during a pandemic, launching a behavioral health crisis program, and everyone's favorite Rhode Islander, Viola Davis.
