Complete Streets
People who live in cities and towns throughout the country have a growing interest in ensuring that transportation investments provide for the safe travel of everyone using the road.
A Growing Priority
Across the country, Complete Streets policies are gaining traction as more communities prioritize an emerging approach to roadway planning—one that allows for greater flexibility in roadway design, considers the needs of all road users, and better complements surrounding land uses. Kimley-Horn works hand-in-hand with communities to create successful results from these policies by integrating context-sensitive transportation design best practices into the plans and standards that guide future mobility and helping cities realize the benefits of safe, accessible, and healthy streets.
