Complete streets are urban planning and design principles that prioritize the safety, accessibility, and comfort of all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, public transit riders, and motorists. The concept recognizes the diverse needs of a community and aims to create a safe and comfortable multimodal transportation network. The goal of complete streets is to create a balanced and user-friendly environment that caters to the needs of everyone, regardless of their mode of transportation.

A complete street typically features well-designed sidewalks, dedicated bike lanes, efficient public transit options, safe crosswalks, and landscaping. By integrating these elements, complete streets promote a more inclusive and sustainable transportation system, enhancing the overall livability of communities. This approach not only fosters healthier and more active lifestyles but also contributes to improved air quality, reduced traffic congestion, and increased social connectivity.

Complete streets policies will be implemented through regional design standards.
