APBP 2026 Webinar - The Evolution of Quick Build Projects

Since the early 2000s, quick build active transportation projects have gained popularity as an inexpensive and flexible way to improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity. Using paint, posts, and pilot treatments, cities have been able to test ideas and deliver visible change quickly. But what comes after the quick build stage? How do these projects evolve into safer, more durable, and more attractive infrastructure without waiting for full corridor reconstructions? 

This webinar will explore the City of Toronto’s strategies and lessons learned in moving from quick builds to permanent through small capital projects. We will discuss how to identify the most impactful project types, apply effective design processes, and adopt delivery and procurement models that work within municipal constraints. Case studies from Toronto will highlight how small civil interventions, such as curb extensions, poured-in-place curbs, and raised intersections, can elevate a quick build project from good to great. Participants will gain insight into how these small but strategic projects can be delivered cost-effectively, scaled across networks, and embedded into municipal programs to create lasting improvements for people walking and cycling.
