What are complete streets?
Complete Streets means making roadways safer and easier for people regardless of age or ability and regardless of whether they are walking, driving, riding a bike or taking a bus or train. For the past 50 years, the emphasis has been on moving as many cars as possible. But how we get around is key to livability in our communities, and not every road should follow the same cookie cutter design. Road uses will vary from place to place.
It's important for planners to hear from people so they design roadways that accommodate the most people and the most uses. Community involvement is key.
