The Northeast Georgia Regional Commission is proud to announce the release of A Complete Streets Guide for local communities. By building “Complete Streets” (right-of-ways that are safe, comfortable, useful, and interesting for people of all ages and abilities), municipalities and counties can increase the safety and value of their communities and decrease household transportation costs. This Guide defines Complete Streets, explains their value, shows how to build them, and provides a model ordinance to help implement the initiative.
The NEGRC is prepared to offer technical assistance to interested communities, including education (upcoming webinars on August 26th and 27th), walking audits, bicycle and pedestrian plans, and more. For Complete Street questions, resources, and assistance, contact Stephen Jaques, NEGRC Project Specialist, sjaques@negrc.org, or John Devine, AICP, NEGRC Principal Planner, jdevine@negrc.org.
