The Council’s members represent a broad cross-section of interest groups concerned about issues including the environment, health, housing, aging, safety, local government, planning and modes of transportation including walking, bicycling, roads, and transit. The council’s charge, according to the law, is to “provide education and advice to the state transportation commission, county road commissions, municipalities, interest groups, and the public on the development, implementation, and coordination of complete streets policy.” The group held its initial meeting in April 2011. At that meeting the members reviewed the requirements of P.A. 135, elected officers, identified topics for discussion at future meetings, and took public comment. The group met three more times, in July, September and November 2011. All meetings were conducted as open meetings. Minutes of the meetings follow this summary. Because of the wide variety of knowledge among the council members, initial meetings focused on presentations intended to help the entire group form a common understanding of the issues surrounding the development of complete streets. Presentations included information on complete streets policy, best practices, funding, and safety. Additional presentations on legal liability, MDOT’s context sensitive approach to project development, and Governor Snyder’s special message to the legislature – “Better Roads Drive Better Jobs” – were also provided. Copies of the presentations are included in Appendix B. The Council members worked together to develop a vision for complete streets in Michigan that would help inform future policy development by the State Transportation Commission (STC). They also researched complete streets policies in other states and submitted sample language for consideration by the STC. The sample language reflects four aspects of complete streets policy as detailed in P.A. 135, including safety, cost, context and functional classification of the

  • Oxfordshire Cycling Design Standards
    OXFORDSHIRE CYCLING DESIGN STANDARDS Rail Station School Shops A guide for Developers, Planners and Engineers Summer 2017 OXFORDSHIRE CYCLING DESIGN STANDARDS FOREWORD Oxfordshire County Council aims to make cycling and walking a central part of transport, planning, health and clean air strategies. We are doing this through our Local Transport Plan: Connecting Oxfordshire, Active & Healthy Travel Strategy, Air Quality Strategy and working together with Oxfordshire’s Local Planning Authorities to ensure walking and cycling considerations are designed into masterplans and development designs from the outset. The Council recognises that good highway design, which prioritises and creates dedicated space for cycling and walking, will signifcantly contribute to: - improving people’s health and wellbeing, - improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, - reducing congestion, - improving air quality, - boosting the local economy, and - creating attractive environments where people wish to live Working together with cycling, walking and physical activity associations and City and District Councils, as well as planning, transport and public health offcers through the Active & Healthy Travel Steering Group, Oxfordshire County Council has produced Design Standards for both cycling and walking respectively. These two documents together convey our vision for better active travel infrastructure in Oxfordshire to support decision makers and set out more clearly what is expected of developers.

  • Living Streets
    November 2009 Living Streets Policy Briefing 03/09 Pedestrians and Cyclists Living Streets is the national charity that stands up for pedestrians. With our supporters we work to create safe, attractive and enjoyable streets, where people want to walk. Contents Executive Summary 3 Recommendations & policy calls 3 National action 3 Local action 3 Introduction 4 Glossary 5 Footway 5 Shared use 5 Adjacent, or segregated use 6 Government Policy 7 Pavement cycling 7 Wanton or Furious? 7 Our Policy 9 People-friendly streets 9 Addressing illegal and anti-social cycling 9 Pavement cycling 9 In general 9 Children 10 Design and engineering recommendations 12 Route planning 12 Parks 13 Signs 13 Space 13 Sightlines 14 Towpaths 14 Maintenance 15 References and useful links 16 Living Streets 2 Executive Summary Walking and cycling are healthy, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive modes of transport. Living Streets believes that getting more people walking and cycling is a solution to many of our urban transport problems. Additionally both can help to address other public policy concerns such as obesity, air pollution, quality of life, and climate change. However they are also highly vulnerable to, and restricted by, motor traffic. We want to see more people cycling, and there is more that unites cyclists and pedestrians than divides them. However, we need to work towards a transport system and built environment that prioritises the needs of pedestrians over all other modes, including cyclists – a principle firmly established in Manual for Streets 1. The main points of this paper can be summarised as follows: • Pedestrians and cyclists share many common objectives when it comes to urban planning – both forms of transport have been marginalised at the expense of motor vehicles; • Pavement cycling is illegal and the law must be better enforced; • Off-carriageway provision for cyclists must never come at the expense of pedestrian space, safety, or amenity.

  • The Place of Complete Streets
    The Place of Complete Streets: Aligning urban street design practices with pedestrian and cycling priorities by Jeana Klassen A practicum submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF CITY PLANNING Department of City Planning Faculty of Architecture University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Canada Copyright © 2015 by Jeana Klassen Abstract Many Canadian cities are collectively considering pedestrians, cyclists, public transit, automobiles, and the movement of goods through complete streets, aspiring to enable all people, regardless of age, income, abilities, or lifestyle choices to use streets. Canadian municipal transportation practices are largely based on conventional approaches, where the movement of motor vehicles is a priority. The purpose of this practicum is to identify ways that selected precedents from Canadian and European municipal practices, may inform Canadian municipalities as they seek to incorporate the needs of pedestrians and cyclists – encompassing city planning, transportation engineering, architecture, and urban design considerations. The results of this research exemplify the interdisciplinary involvement required for creating streets as both links and places. Recommendations for Canadian municipalities include aligning municipal design practices with complete streets practices and incorporating interdisciplinary inputs in street design. Ensuring an interdisciplinary university education is recommended for street design professions. Key words: complete streets; interdisciplinary design; scales of design; multimodal mobility, accessibility, and sojournability; classification systems; design criteria i Acknowledgements Thank you to those who walked with me through this adventure, and now celebrate the milestone. To my family and friends, you will never know how much your encouragement, support, and wisdom meant – thank you.

  • Sustainable Complete Streets Design Criteria and Case Study in Naples, Italy
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 19 August 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202008.0402.v1 Article Sustainable complete streets design criteria and case study in Naples, Italy Alfonso Montella1, Salvatore Chiaradonna2, Alessandro Claudi de Saint Mihiel3, Gord Lovegrove4, and Pietro Nunziante5,* 1 University of Naples Federico II – Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering; [email protected] 2 University of Naples Federico II – Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering; [email protected] 3 University of British Columbia, Okanagan – School of Engineering; [email protected] 4 University of Naples Federico II – Department of Architecture; [email protected] 5 University of Naples Federico II – Department of Architecture; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-3389996765 (IT) Abstract: (1) Background: A growing number of communities are re-discovering the value of their streets as important public spaces for many aspects of daily life, thus creating the need for a transformation in the quality of streets. An emerging concept is to accommodate all users of the transportation system, a concept that has been labelled ‘complete streets’. (2) Methods: In this paper, we present sustainable complete streets design criteria that integrate complete streets by adding in socio-environmental design criteria related to aesthetics, environment, liveability, and safety. (3) Results: Proposed design criteria provide a street network which provides improvements in aesthetics, to recover historical urban character and realize historical area planning goals; environment, to increase permeable surfaces, reduce the heat island, and absorb traffic-related air pollution; liveability, to create a public space destination in the urban landscape; and safety, to improve the safety of all road users.
