This project focuses on public spaces — such as shopping centers, strip malls, or downtown streets — that need to balance the needs of pedestrians and drivers. For instance, at a downtown street (such as University Avenue), the design of the street, parking, and sidewalks need to balance the needs of through traffic, parking, biking, public transit, and walking. This is a complicated problem with a number of tradeoffs, and not every public space can do everything. 

As you begin this interview, please choose a public space (for example: University Avenue, Stanford Shopping Center, Town and Country, California Avenue. All of these are fine choices, don't worry about being unique!). Bonus points if it is close to Stanford.
