Lansing needs Complete Streets!
Did you know that on average, someone is hit by a car every three days in
Lansing?
Complete streets are roadways designed and operated to enable safe,
attractive, and comfortable access and travel for all users.
Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and public transport users of all ages and
abilities are able to safely move across and along a complete street.
Complete Streets also create a sense of place and improve social interaction in
neighborhoods, while generally improving the community.
If we build Complete Streets into City of Lansing construction and improvement
plans, we can save on costly improvements later.
Please join us in urging the City of Lansing to Complete Our Streets!
