Democrats in the state Legislature have set their sights on rethinking Washington’s street design. Full story:
“Complete streets really is about creating streetscapes that benefit all users so that car users have the space they need to move efficiently,” Sen. Liias continued.
“There’s an emerging national consensus among transportation experts and planners around a safe systems approach,” Sen. Liias continued. “We would love humans to change their behavior, would love people to not be distracted while they’re driving. … Reality says some people will be distracted.
“Complete streets doesn’t have to be a bike lane,” Hallenbeck continued. “Because it’s suicidal — you can’t make a bike lane on Aurora work. But you can build this parallel facility. So the context-sensitive design says this road is a really big, high-speed arterial designed for high volume, and therefore we’re going to accommodate bikes and pedestrians in this entirely different fashion.”
The idea of complete streets dovetails with Move Ahead Washington’s vision for changing the fabric of the state’s transportation culture with greater emphasis on a plurality of commute options.“Obviously, it benefits all of the users of our transportation system: people in cars and out of them.
