After the State Transportation Commission officially adopted a Complete Streets policy on July 26th, 2012, as required by PA 134 and PA 135 of 2010, the Michigan Department of Transportation wasted no time in getting the word out about the good news.  They recently published this one-page leave behind regarding the new policy in an effort to help inform internal staff, as well as road commissions, municipalities, and other interest groups across the state.

The one-pager includes the following vision for Complete Streets in Michigan:

  • A transportation network that is accessible, interconnected and multimodal and that safely and efficiently moves goods and people of all ages and abilities throughout the State of Michigan.
  • A process that empowers partnerships to routinely plan, fund, design, construct, maintain and operate complete streets that respect context and community values.
  • Outcomes that will improve economic prosperity, equity, accessibility, safety and environmental quality.
