The city of Phoenix Street Transportation Department is soliciting feedback on its proposed “complete streets” policy. A complete street is a design concept that provides guidelines to ensure Phoenix roads, sidewalks and other streetscape elements are accessible, convenient and safer for all users, including motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. A copy of the draft policy is available at http://phoenix.gov/streets/whatsnew/100635.
“Building a streets system that accommodates cars, public transit, bicyclists and pedestrians is critical to making Phoenix a great modern city,” said Mayor Greg Stanton. “A complete streets policy that incorporates all of these forms of transportation into a single plan is key to our economic success as a city.”
