Complete streets are streets for all people

They are streets where all road users have a safe place to travel. These are settings where

• Parents can safely walk their kids to school.
• Bike commuters can easily pedal to work.
• Senior citizens can comfortably wait for a bus.

The Complete Streets movement is a national campaign quickly gaining momentum throughout the nation in large cities, small towns, and everywhere in between.

Creating Complete Streets requires policy know-how and on-the-ground expertise from local residents.

Thanks to efforts by Active Trans and others in the region, more Chicagoland communities are seeing the wisdom of creating complete streets.
