(Startups are not required but strongly encouraged to participate in group events, given the fast pace of the two-month program, according to Adam Klein, who helped launch Startup Stampede.)Ĭo-working spaces offer an office-type environment free of charge on a first come, first served basis, and most are meant for solopreneurs who would otherwise be working from their couches. "There were lots of times where we would have pitch practice or other group check-ins and only half the participants would show," Sadler says. There was little accountability, he adds, and many of the small businesses using the free space didn't participate in events to share advice with other entrepreneurs. Meeting with accountants and attorneys in the free office space downtown rather than at his home, he says, "made a big difference."Įven though Startup Stampede is an incubator-type program, don't expect it to function with strict deadlines for achieving entrepreneurial milestones, Sadler says. "Having physical office space was tremendously legitimizing," says the 31-year-old, who spent two months working from the lobby of a defunct credit union as part of the program. Joel Sadler was one of the chosen when he launched Bound Custom Journals, a company that sells customizable notebooks. The programs are competitive: Last year, Durham's Startup Stampede selected 11 startups from 78 applications, offering them two months of free office space.

Given what I know of London drivers I do not think that London is the right city to be trialling these (although Rome and Paris would both clearly by even worse options!) SHOULD EXHIBITION ROAD BE A SHARED SPACE ROAD?Ībsolutely not – it should be completely pedestrianised.

Referring back to my first bullet point it needs to made clear that motorists are always expected to give way to cyclists and pedestrians.

A very low speed limit for motor vehicles (even lower than the 20mph which is now commonplace in the vicinity of schools) fiercely enforced – speeding on a shared space street should be punished more severely than speeding elsewhere because of the greater risk of hitting someone.

Clear signage explaining what a shared space road is and what that means.

My own view is that they could work but the following is necessary: I am uncertain on this one and will welcome evidence from people with experience of shared space roads in their localities. This (to me) raises two questions to be taken in turn: CAN SHARED SPACE ROADS WORK? Here is a tweet from campaign group Transport for All: However, a recent incident on London’s Exhibition Road has called this into question. According to some this arrangement reduces accidents.

Here is a map for you to orient yourselves:Ī shared space road is a road without pavements, with no clear distinctions between where cars, cyclists and pedestrians should be. That location is of course Exhibition Road, London – a location very familiar to me from when I lived in London and was a regular visitor to museums.
