“Complete Streets” are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users. Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities must be able to safely move along and across a complete street. While no Complete Streets legislation currently exists at the national level, the principles of Complete Streets are becoming increasingly more accepted in transportation planning, and as of October 2009, 110 jurisdictions in the U.S. have adopted Complete Streets-friendly policies.
