Complete and Green Streets 101: Reimagining Mobility

This program will offer a more in-depth understanding of the benefits of complete and green streets and suggest ways to work within your own community to make streets safe for all.

Streets are public rights of way that can help define a neighborhood or community.  Well-designed streets can enhance a community’s quality of life for people of all ages.  Think greater safety, walkability, access, bike-ability, traffic flow.  Local communities across Northeast Ohio are rethinking street designs to improve conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders as well as for vehicular drivers.
