Walkable Communities National Complete Streets Coalition “What are complete streets, and complete streets policies? 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.” The Walkable and Livable Communities Institute, Inc. The Institute Web site says “Walkable streets create a human scale and sense of enclosure to the street, helping to keep vehicle speeds low. Walkways must be buffered, not immediately adjacent to moving traffic. Use of planter strips, on-street parking or bike lanes achieve this while helping create ’enclosure.’” National Center for Bicycling and Walking www.walkscore.com |
