#completestreets

Let’s build the city we want to live in! Riding bikes with @saintlouismayor, city staff, and advocates this morning to see some of STL’s ongoing projects to make our streets safer for all road users. #completestreets #friendlystreets

Dear constituent who sent me this, I couldn’t agree more. And I’m working on it! 🫡 #completestreets #pavingplan #utilitypolicy #visionzero

"There is a connection between incomplete streets & chronic disease" -Emiko Atherton, The Role of #PublicHealth in #CompleteStreets webinar

#CompleteStreets are not only something for privileged people. We see time and time again that vulnerable communities can benefit the most from safer streets. Now let's put that knowledge to work

It’s not just hipsters & bicyclists that want #completestreets to walk and bike to their neighborhood amenities, it’s also our aging population according to @AARP:

I made purchases at 5 different retailers along Danforth Ave today - all by bike. While I don't think safe streets need to be justified by $ spent at stores, I would NEVER have made that many stops in a car. #bikelocalshoplocal #completestreets #DestinationDanforth #BikeTO

.#NorthKansasCity city council voted unanimously to give the Armour Road project 6 mos and then evaluate the data next spring. #completestreets

We also love street trees as a tool in #completestreets because they can help slow down drivers by making them feel like they have less space.

Urban #trees are a smart investment in public #health @nature_org

Our design goals have changed, in our cities. Our streets must change too. #CompleteStreets

Rather than focusing on #completestreets we should focus on building streets for people. @AndrewAPrice

#ICYMI you can watch the recording of our recent webinar on #CompleteStreets responses to #COVID19 here, feat presentations by @MikeLydon @rchonthego @rkbtwo @carlosfpardo:

Koinange Street outside GPO used to have Bike Racks. Still has a few remaining #CompleteStreets #City4People #Cycling

Public buses carry exponentially more people (46 people/trip on avg.) than private vehicles & therefore deserve priority on our streets. @ChicagoDOT & @CTA, let's invest in 50 miles of bus lanes to get Chicagoans #backonthebus #completestreets Read more:

It's been 4 years today nearly to the minute since the driver of a 300HP 4,600lb SUV made a negligent left turn and slammed her oversized, overpowered vehicle into my body while I was riding my bike to work. I have been living with the fallout ever since. #BikeTO

The salt in our wounds from #RoadViolence is that EVERY instance was preventable. It shouldn’t be SO hard to make these changes. If you hate this as much as I do, what can you do? You can call or visit your MPP and voice your support for #Bill62.

If you live in a city, express your support for #CompleteStreets – protected infrastructure for all road users. Let your politicians know that you believe that speed and convenience for drivers is NOT more important than the lives and safety of people outside of cars.

What? No cars? Is it still a street? It’s been a street for 5 centuries. Perhaps that is why people were the starting point and cars an afterthought. #Guanajuato #completestreets

When will #completestreets projects just be called street projects?

#CompleteStreets present an opportunity to heal areas of the city, bringing both sides of the street together.

You don’t have to ban cars to transform your city centre. But you do have to fundamentally rethink & redefine the car’s role. There are many ways, from #completestreets to #sharedstreets, pedestrian priority streets & Dutch #woonerfs, that prioritize streets for people, not cars.
