Ordinance #2008-3375 established guidelines to make sure that streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders. The "Complete Streets" policy is one more piece of evidence that the City of Ferguson is on the leading edge when it comes to creating a more sustainable community.
From the APA:
"The American Planning Association’s Planning Advisory Service (PAS) has selected the [Complete Streets Ordinance] for inclusion in the upcoming Essential Info Packet: Complete Streets, to be released in December 2009.
An Essential Info Packet is a compilation of APA publications and selected documents including code excerpts, plans and policies, studies, and reports on a topic of cutting-edge or perennial interest to practicing planners across the country. Essential Info Packets are distributed in digital format to PAS subscribers and made available in print form for a fee to non-subscribers. We are including this public domain document because it exemplifies a best practice in planning."
Way to go Ferguson!
