Planning for Complete Streets: City Showcase Webinar

This webinar is sponsored by the Transportation Planning Council and the Complete Streets Council. This is part two of the web series showcasing different cities' policies, plans, and projects completed in the United States to improve their streets and communities through transportation. Each case study is unique to the character of the community and shares a multi-modal approach to provide a sufficient system for all users.

At 7,500 centerline miles, streets make up about 15% of all the land in the City of Los Angeles. Streets are the largest public asset, forming and reflecting the character of the City. The “Great Streets Initiative” is taking advantage of this underutilized asset to support thriving neighborhoods by reimagining streetscape and transforming gathering places. This webinar will show examples of Los Angeles Great Street projects that applies the Complete Streets concepts.

Developed with assistance from a federal grant and numerous public input sessions, Memphis’ “Complete Streets Project Delivery Manual” provides guidance and influence of Complete Streets concepts every time a project occurs within the public right-of-way. This manual will be used by City of Memphis employees and private developers as they work to ensure compliance with the Complete Streets Executive Order. This webinar will show the City of Memphis planning and implementation efforts to apply Complete Streets concepts consistently for multiple project types while building safe streets for everyone.
