Complete Streets Workshops
"Complete Streets are for everyone."
"They are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities." 

The State of Connecticut adopted Complete Streets legislation in 2009 - and it is an important tool in a placed-based economic & community development strategy.

Our workshops are designed to introduce all stakeholders to Complete Streets, explaining the challenges and opportunities, and discussing how to advocate for and implement a Complete Streets program in your community.
