Pedaling the Pueblo – Complete Streets and Tucson
What are Complete Streets and what would they look like here in Tucson? In this episode of Pedaling the Pueblo, Gene interviews Emily Yetman, Executive Director of Living Streets Alliance (LSA), to catch up on the work LSA has been doing to pass a Complete Streets ordinance.
Complete Streets is a way of designing and building our streets that focuses on creating a safe and welcoming experience for all people regardless of their age, ability, income, race, or ethnicity, whether they are walking, biking, driving, or taking public transit. This helps to ensure streets are safe and they balance the needs of people as they get around in different ways. To date, over 1100 Complete Streets policies have been adopted nationwide at the local, regional, and state levels as the first step to set the Complete Streets approach into motion.
