Think You Know How to Plan Complete Streets?

The complete streets approach does not just focus on infrastructure. It also encompasses decision making and a design process that balances the needs of end users in each land-use context. Providing safe and convenient bicycle and pedestrian travel options can increase access to economic opportunity for traditionally underserved populations, including people with disabilities and low-income, minority, older, and limited-English-proficiency populations.

Presenters discuss complete streets applications at varying scales, define complete streets, and explain how complete streets can be applied through statewide plans and policies. They use the U.S. 67 Corridor Master Plan case study to demonstrate how complete streets are needed and applicable in rural and urban settings. The presentation includes an overview of national best practices and opportunities for complete streets.
