National Complete Streets Coalition Laying the Foundation for Complete Streets WorkshopAssociation of Pedestrian and Bicycle ProfessionalsLynchburg, VA Free event Effective complete streets policies help communities routinely create safe and inviting road networks for everyone, including bicyclists, drivers, transit operators and users, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities.
The National Complete Streets Coalition is founder of the complete streets movement. It designed the Laying the Foundation for Complete Streets workshop to respond to the needs of state and local agencies and the communities they serve to develop a common foundation of understanding among key stakeholders and develop the political will for changing policy and internal practices to routinely create complete streets networks that serve all users of all ages and abilities. The full-day, highly interactive workshop is customized for 40 key decision makers, stakeholders, and agency professionals. It is led by two National Complete Streets Coalition-trained and nationally-known complete streets design and policy experts.
The learning objectives of the Laying the Foundation for Complete Streets workshop are to bring together key diverse stakeholders who draft, adopt and implement official and internal policies and procedures to:
1) Build a common understanding of the complete streets concept and approach
2) Explore how complete streets policies can help achieve multiple transportation, health and community goals.
3) Explore examples of complete streets policies adopted by jurisdictions.
4) Compare how traditional and complete streets designs use existing rights-of-way.
5) Give participants the experience of applying complete streets planning tools using local examples.
6) Help the client’s jurisdiction identify specific next steps toward achieving its complete streets goals.
