Designing Complete Streets:
How to create safe and efficient streets for
pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers
With Michael King, Nelson/Nygaard Consulting
View Mr. King's Presentation (PDF)
Pedestrian safety has risen to the top of the political agenda, as one tragic death after another demonstrates that our region’s streets are not safe enough for everyday use. Conventionally, the design and operation decisions for streets and intersections place a priority on moving motor vehicle traffic swiftly. Other users -- pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders -- are often only included as an afterthought. New thinking among transportation professionals is moving toward complete streets or balanced designs that improve the safe and efficient use of streets for everyone, including the most vulnerable.
