According to the Federal DOT: Streets will be COMPLETE
2010 March 18
Complete Streets from Shoreline, WA
Complete Streets are now a Federal Department of Transportation policy. Both large and small agencies must “integrate non-motorized modes of future projects,” according to the National Complete Streets Coalition.
What does this mean for us? More green jobs, reducing energy costs, lower air pollution, and most importantly safer streets and neighborhoods. The Feds are beginning to look out for the common man, whether he be a simple pedestrian or a bicycle rider.

The view should be widened to include all the ped amenities as well as amenities at transit stops. This corridor is also BRT “like” with frequent service. But on the whole peds are served well and MUCH safer.. Look at that jaywalker. Also the bridge overhead is the interurban trail for peds and bikes
