The Complete Street approach is driven by the public’s desire to have urban streets with less focus on maximizing vehicle volume and speed, and more focus on active transportation modes such as walking, cycling, and transit. The implementation of complete streets has a number of challenges to resolve, including the legal aspect that governs operation, the design aspect that determines street and intersection geometry, and the planning process aspect that prioritizes investments.

Those interested in the Complete Street approach may also wish to read the briefing, Complete Streets: Policy and practice in Canada (2015).

Participants of this webinar will learn to recognize the legal, design and planning process challenges of complete streets through concrete examples, and to identify possible solutions.
