Why Detroit Needs a 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.
According to Scott, Complete Streets can improve the physical and mental health of Detroiters. 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, making the implementation of Complete Streets policies crucial. These policies make communities and neighborhoods more livable by ensuring all people can get safely to where they need to go — work, school, the library, grocery stores, or parks.
