Council approves long-awaited Complete Streets ordinance update
Summary
Council approved updates to the Complete Streets ordinance—originally adopted in February 2011—to improve eligibility for competitive grants and ensure street designs serve all users, Paul Dillon said.
Council member Paul Dillon said the council approved an update to the Complete Streets ordinance, originally passed in February 2011. Dillon said the update was “long overdue, years in the making,” and that it will improve the city’s eligibility for competitive grant programs and promote safer street design for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians and transit users regardless of ability. He said the ordinance passed unanimously.
The transcript did not include the ordinance text, the vote tally beyond the statement of unanimous passage, or implementation timelines. Dillon emphasized that the change will help the city qualify for competitive grant programs and that the ordinance directs streets to be designed for multiple users.
The council noted a brief summer recess; Dillon said the council will be off the next two Mondays and that its next meeting will be Aug. 18.
