About Complete Streets
Complete Streets are designed for everyone. They accommodate all forms of transportation, including walking, biking, driving, public transit and mobility devices. This approach ensures roads are more efficient, accessible, safer, economical and sustainable. Improvements may include ADA-accessible sidewalks or shared-use paths, bike lanes or wide paved shoulders, visible crosswalks, speed limit changes, and traffic-calming features to discourage speeding and reduce collisions.
This project is funded through the Roadway Preservation Program at a current estimated cost of $6 million.
