Madeline Brozen’s Projects
- Analyzing and Archiving Bicycle and Pedestrian Volumes from Automated Counters in Low-Income Cities in Los Angeles County
On this project: Herbie Huff, Madeline Brozen, Norman Wong, Diana Benitez
Research Area(s):Pedestrian and bicycle volume data is rarely collected in Los Angeles County, and even more rarely is high quality data available in low-income communities. While short-duration manual counts exist here at several hundred locations, these provide a limited understanding of how volumes may vary by time of day. This project analyzed some of the first longer-duration bicycle and pedestrian data in LA …
- Seniors and Parks: Identifying and Responding to the Elders’ Needs for Open Space
On this project: Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Lene Levy-Storms, Madeline Brozen
Research Area(s): Complete StreetsTwo reports now available: Placemaking for an Aging Population: Guidelines for Senior-Friendly Parks Parks for Seniors: Identifying Opportunity Sites in Los Angeles Project Description Senior citizens remain a highly underserved group in regards to parks. This despite the fact that studies find a positive relation between physical and emotional well-being and spending time in a natural setting ( …
- Congestion-Priced Parking in California: Equity, Efficiency, and Implementation
On this project: Madeline Brozen, Donald Shoup
Research Area(s): TransportationThis project, done in collaboration with UC Berkeley, is evaluating and analyzing two performance-based parking projects, SF Park and LA Express Park. Over the past two years, researchers at UCLA and UC Berkeley collected data about parking occupancy, rates of payment, reasons for non-payment and other variables that are not able to be collected by the sensors associated with the parking meters th …
- Exploration and Implications of Multimodal Street Performance Metrics: What’s a Passing Grade?
On this project: Robin Liggett, Rui Wang, Madeline Brozen, Herbie Huff
Research Area(s): Complete Streets, Transportation20th Street in Santa Monica performance for bicyclists and pedestrians by different scoring mechanisms. Watch the webinar This project analyzes new multimodal street performance metrics for transportation projects. Scholars and practitioners have developed these new performance metrics in recent years in an attempt to replace traditional automobile-based level of service (LOS) indicators. Many sch …
- Reclaiming the Right-of-Way: Parklets for Los Angeles
On this project: Madeline Brozen, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris
Research Area(s): Complete Streets, TransportationConsidering roads as public spaces presents an opportunity for decreasing the open space deficit in cities. For this reason, cities are turning to parklets—places that emerge from the low-cost conversion of small and underutilized residual spaces originally devoted to cars into places for the passive or active recreation of people. Because parklets are a relatively recent phenomenon, there is very …
