Complete Streets
The latest developments, events, and resources from the National Complete Streets Coalition:
Partners in Complete Streets
The Complete Streets movement owes a lot to advocates, elected officials, and local engineers, but the growing cadre of Complete Streets Partners deserve credit for their work on the ground in communities every day. Now is a great time for your organization to join the Coalition as a Partner: affirm your commitment to Complete Streets and receive great benefits.
Why Complete Streets Succeeds
When we started the Complete Streets movement, we didn’t look at where we would like every community to arrive. We looked at where communities are now. Complete Streets policies, and their implementation, provide the clear path between what we have and where we want to be.
In the Heart of Texas
Wtih an eye toward health, the City of San Antonio recently approved a Complete Streets policy.
MAP-21 and Complete Streets
The long awaited Senate draft of the roads portion of a federal transportation authorization bill is out. While it makes some nods toward Complete Streets, it does not include a policy.
Senate Poised to Move on Federal Transportation Bill
The U.S. Senate appears ready to start talking about a long-term federal transportation authorization bill, and we’re ready to see how well it will promote safety for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or how they choose to travel.
Tell Us Your Complete Streets Stories
The National Complete Streets Coalition is working to address concerns and misconceptions of Complete Streets, and we need your help. We believe the best arguments come straight from real-life stories, and we’ve developed several points based on what we’ve gathered so far. But we need more of them.
Spotlight on: NelsonNygaard
NelsonNygaard, a Silver Partner, is a firm with a “Complete Streets purpose.” Read how they are working to make Complete Streets reality in communities across the country in today’s post highlighting the work of our Coalition members and partners.
Model Design Manual Will Help Turn Your Policy Into Practice
The Model Design Manual for Living Streets is a new and important resource for communities looking to implement their Complete Streets policy. Reflecting national best practices in multimodal street design and environmental sustainability, it should be a tool in any city’s toolbox.
Opportunities for Complete Streets Help
The Coalition is always looking for new ways to share our knowledge and help communities “get it right” with their Complete Streets work. We’re excited to partner on two new initiatives to bring technical assistance to even more communities.
