Why Detroit Needs Complete Streets Ordinance
Detroit lacks a Complete Streets ordinance, which could improve safety and connectivity for residents by ensuring safer roads, says Todd Scott, executive director of the Detroit Greenways Coalition.
Complete Streets can improve the physical and mental health of Detroiters, according to Scott. Notably, 22% of residents do not have a vehicle, highlighting the need for alternative transportation options.
Detroit has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates among U.S. cities, emphasizing the importance of implementing Complete Streets policies.
- Complete Streets policies make communities and neighborhoods more livable
- Ensure all people can get safely to where they need to go — work, school, the library, grocery stores, or parks
- Help people feel more connected to their neighbors, improving quality of life
We all want and deserve to live in safe, healthy communities.
