Agenda note: DOCUMENT(S) SUBMITTED:
1. A Complete Streets Policy (26 pages), submitted by Commissioner Jones
DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, the Board received a report from Commissioner Jones regarding streets designed and operated to enable safe use and support mobility for all users; Complete Streets included active sidewalks, dedicated bike lanes, active roadways, safe crosswalks, planting strips, and green spaces; reduced pedestrian and cyclist fatalities; increased walking, cycling, and use of public transit; revitalized older neighborhoods and fostered small businesses; an adopted policy ensured the principles were incorporated into decision-making, and provided accountability and metrics for success; aligned with President Biden’s plan to install infrastructure; and the Department of Transportation would provide federal funds creating jobs and safer communities.
Discussion followed regarding issues including reinvestment in the inner city, benefits to vulnerable users of the roadways, demonstrated a commitment to redevelopment which changed neighborhood conduct and reduced crime; and fiber optic cable installed in the streets.
Staff was directed to continue working on a proposal for a Complete Streets Policy. | |
