Thoughtful street design can have significant positive effects on the social, economic, and environmental qualities of a community. As such, this complete streets policy directs the city to develop and maintain a safe, reliable, and efficient, multi-modal transportation system that people of all ages and abilities can access, utilize, and enjoy. The specific goals are to:

(B) Improve health and physical fitness among city residents;
(C) Create aesthetically beautiful and physically pleasant streets for walking, biking, bussing, and driving;
