How to Create Complete Streets, From Policy to Practice
September 17 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The U.S. Department of Transportation defines a Complete Street as one that “is safe, and feels safe, for all users. …Complete Streets serve pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, children, older individuals, individuals with disabilities, motorists, and freight vehicles.”
While many communities have had Complete Streets policies or resolutions for a decade or longer, enacting *effective* Complete Streets policies that result in real Complete Streets remains an uphill battle for many communities.
Join the League and our partners to learn what makes an effective local Complete Street policy, and how to build the coalitions to win support and see policies through to implementation.
