The Complete Streets projects, managed by the County's Department of Environmental Services, are intended to improve safety and access for all users, pedestrians, transit riders, bikers, and motorists on noncommercial arterial streets, as well as improve street aesthetics, stormwater management and bioretention. Improvements could include:
- Sidewalk expansion or obstruction elimination
- Curb ramp reconstruction
- Crosswalk and signal enhancements
- Pedestrian-scale lighting
- Bike lanes
- Improved access to transit stops
