Communities are embracing a new and safer way to build streets for
everyone - even as they struggle to change decades of rules,
practice, and politics that prioritise cars. They have discovered
that changing the design of a single street is not enough: they
must upend the way transportation agencies operate. Completing Our
Streets begins with the story of how the complete streets movement
united bicycle riders, transportation practitioners and agencies,
public health leaders, older people, and smart growth advocates to
dramatically re-frame the discussion of transportation safety.
Next, it explores why the transportation field has been so
resistant to change - and how the movement has broken through to
create a new multi-modal approach. In Completing Our Streets,
Barbara McCann, explains that the movement is not about street
design. Instead, practitioners and activists have changed the way
projects are built by focusing on three strategies: reframe the
conversation; build a broad base of political support; and provide
a clear path to a multi-modal process. McCann shares stories of
practitioners in cities and towns who have embraced these
strategies to fundamentally change the way transportation projects
are chosen, planned, and built. The complete streets movement is
based around a simple idea: streets should be safe for people of
all ages and abilities, whether they are walking, driving,
bicycling, or taking the bus. Completing Our Streets gives
practitioners and activists the strategies, tools, and inspiration
needed to translate this idea into real and lasting change in their
communities.
