Local jurisdictions are increasingly recognizing the economic, social and environmental benefits of planning, designing and building Complete Streets, streets that accommodate a wide range of community transportation needs and all users. In-class exercises will be used to define Complete Streets design policies and practices and suggest methods for shifting agency procedures so as to incorporate Complete Streets design strategies into land development, maintenance and capital improvement projects. Participants will learn:
- What are the different types of Complete Streets and what are their benefits
- How performance measures can help implement Complete Streets
- Street designs that support walking and bicycling
- Strategies for finding room on existing streets to make them more complete
- How to change project development processes to support Complete Streets
