Idea #27: Complete Streets
The National Complete Streets Coalition is a comprehensive resource for communities and agencies working toward creating a safe, comfortable, integrated transportation network for all users. Advocates have effectively documented the need, benefits, and processes and procedures to bring Complete Streets about. Many communities have already made great strides adopting this as their official planning framework. In Middlesborough we will explore concepts such as creating a dedicated bike line, providing for bumpouts in area otherwise not used for traffic and parking, etc. For more info, please visit: http://www.smartgrowthamerica.org/complete-streets/a-to-z
The National Complete Streets Coalition has identified five kinds of activities needed to take place in order to reorient a transportation agency’s work to fully and consistently consider the safety of all users. We provide resources, activities, and best practices from communities across the country to help your community successfully implement Complete Streets. (Free.)
