Complete Streets Philosophy
A complete street is defined as a street
that works for motorists, for bus riders, for bicyclists, and
for pedestrians, including people with disabilities. The term
"complete streets" was coined in early 2003 by bicycle
advocates as a way to describe-and sell-what had until then been
referred to as "routine accommodation". The philosophy
of Complete Streets believes "bicycling and walking accommodations
should be a routine part of the department's planning, design,
construction, and operating activities."
