Complete Streets

Table of contents
No headers

Ideal for reconstruction, renovation projects

Lack of mobility -- transit, bike, walk, ferry!

St. George/Dundas examples

Visual cues

Mindset of commuters coming downtown

Wider streets, but less core space

Target appropriate roads

Who gets priority? Bikes vs. pedestrians vs. cars

Types of trips being made -- short errands vs. shopping

Zoning of land to accommodate use

Can bike (national program)

Scramble intersections

Jarvis Street reconstruction (widened sidewalks; incomplete streets)

Problem of entitlement on the roads

How can we duplicate complete roads' success from US/Europe?

Concept of the road as an inherently bad thing -- change perceptions and make roads a positive thing.

I liked the idea of scramble intersections, giving distinct priority to pedestrians or cars depending on the signal. No more cars racing right turns around pedestrians when light changes.
