'Complete Streets' Programs Are Sweeping Over American Cities

• https://www.technocracy.news by MARGARET KRAUSS

Complete Streets is a global program inspired by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The Smart Growth America website states:

Complete Streets are streets for everyone. They are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. Complete Streets make it easy to cross the street, walk to shops, and bicycle to work. They allow buses to run on time and make it safe for people to walk to and from train stations.

At the time when many of Pittsburgh's streets were built, top travel speed was dictated by horses, and later, a trolley car at full tilt.

Now, drivers attempt to maneuver those same narrow, complicated streets at 40 or 50 miles per hour, said Karina Ricks, director of the city's Department of Mobility and Infrastructure.
