Complete Streets

MARLIN is committed to supporting a nationwide movement coalesced around a simple idea: our streets should work for everyone, of all ages and abilities, regardless of how they travel. This simple idea is “Complete Streets.” This powerful philosophy fundamentally redefines what a street is intended to do, what goals a transportation agency is going to meet, and how the community will spend its transportation funding. It breaks down the traditional separation of ‘highways,’ ‘transit,’ and ‘biking/walking.’ Instead, it focuses on the desired outcome of a transportation system that supports the safe use of a roadway for everyone, by whatever means they are traveling.
