New highway capping projects seek to reconnect communities that were severed by transportation infrastructure projects. But success requires more than reconnecting streets. It requires a holistic view of neighborhood transformation and planning for connectivity at different scales. Find out about the many different types of projects that reconnect communities and how projects are getting done. Learn how equity, a core component of the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program, is supported by focusing on enhanced mobility, access, health and economic development. Recognize that technical challenges are often easier to overcome than meeting the goal of restoring social connections, strengthening community institutions and improving health outcomes. Gain perspective about the resources and expertise these projects need to win both funding and support.
