Principal investigator Marc Schlossberg and co-investigator John Rowell, of the University of Oregon, have complete a guide to help communities of all varieties realize the benefits of complete streets.
National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC) researchers have created a complete streets design manual "to aid traffic engineers, transportation planners, elected officials, businesses and community stakeholders in re-envisioning their streets."
Called "Rethinking Streets: An Evidence Based Guide to 25 Complete Streets Transformations," the manual includes photographs documenting the context and before-and-after appearance of the redesigned streets, data about collisions, economic factors, annual average daily traffic (AADT), and mode choices, according to a press release by the Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium.
The press release also lists highlights from the report with regard to cycling, safety, placemaking, and retail.
