Complete Streets
 | complete streets The streets of our cities and towns ought to be for everyone: the young and old, motorists and bicyclists, walkers and wheelchair users, and bus riders and shop keepers. But too many of our streets are designed only for speeding cars, or worse, creeping traffic jams. They're unsafe for people on foot or bike. Complete Streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users: pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and bus riders. People of all ages and abilities are able to safely move along and across a complete street. For a great summary of Complete Streets, read this May 2005 article from Planning Magazine. Yet another great summary is this presentation from the Urban Studies Dept. at SFSU Learn more at these great websites: National Complete Streets Campaign Thunderhead Allliance's Complete Streets Initiative |
