Why Complete Streets Are Important — What They Are and What They Are Not
- Complete Streets policies have been gaining traction as more communities realize the benefits of having safe, accessible, and healthy streets.
- Over 1400 Complete Streets policies have been passed at the local, regional, and state levels across the country – including small and medium-sized municipalities in Pennsylvania.
- Implementation of effective complete streets policies help communities create safe and inviting road networks designed for people of all ages and abilities, as well as for multiple modes of transportation – bicycles, walking, wheeling, public transit and personal vehicles.
- “Complete Streets” are not mandates for immediate retrofit. They are not an order to redesign every street in your community. Adoption of a Complete Streets Policy does not mean every street must have sidewalks, bike lanes and accommodate public transit.

The PA Chapter of the American Planning Association recently kicked-off its 2018 Great Places in Pennsylvania Program. Great Places are unique, memorable places where people want to be – not only to visit, but to live, work and/or play every day. They serve as a model that other communities want to emulate – places of exemplary character, quality planning, identity, cultural interest and community involvement with a sustainable vision for the future.
Fairmount Park Conservancy working with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation seeks proposals from qualified and creative design teams to perform a master plan for the 348-acre Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Park in South Philadelphia. The master plan will investigate, analyze and recommend approaches to enhance FDR’s ecology, landscape and built environments. The master plan will also seek to create a shared vision for reinvestment among park managers, adjacent institutions, stewards, non-profits and general park users.
