Complete Streets

Complete streets are created to make safe access for all users; a more conducive environment for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders to integrate and move about safely.

Safety precautions are taken such as specific lane assignments for each mode of transportation and bicycle lane separators.
