Benefits of a Complete Street
A complete street is a street where multiple modes of transportation, such as bicycles, transit, cars and pedestrians are accommodated.
The development of complete streets can create a variety of different benefits and opportunities for communities, such as:
- Increased investment into local businesses
- Improved community health through new opportunities for physical activity
- A better sense of community
- Increased property values
- Universally accessibility and more equitable spaces for public participation
- Sharing culture (public art, monuments, history, music)
- A reduction in vehicle traffic and carbon emissions
A more detailed overview of the opportunities complete streets can offer Niagara can be found in the Complete Streets discussion paper.
