This will be a two-part workshop. The morning session will cover the concept of Complete Streets, the national Complete Streets movement, and Complete Streets in the Washington Region. Speakers from the DOT’s and from some of the major jurisdictions and agencies that either already have or are developing Complete Streets policies will discuss their policies and experiences.
The afternoon session will be a working session of the stakeholders, who will develop a draft Complete Streets policy template, using the draft language developed by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee as a starting point.
The purpose of a regional policy template would be to encourage the TPB member jurisdictions and agencies that do not already have a Complete Streets policy, or who are revising an existing policy, to adopt one that reflects common elements that the group believes represent current best practices.
