WHAT ARE COMPLETE STREETS?
3 COMPLETE STREETS are planned, designed, constructed, reconstructed, operated, and maintained to be safe and comfortable for everyone, regardless of age, ability, ethnicity, race, sex, income, disability or chosen transportation mode. Complete Streets provide safe mobility and improved connectivity to community destinations for all users, and especially for people walking, rolling, bicycling, and riding transit, while maximizing the use of the existing public right-of-way by prioritizing space-efficient forms of mobility (walking, cycling, shared mobility, and public transit) over space- intensive modes (single occupancy auto travel).
