COMPLETE STREETS & CONTEXT SENSITIVE DESIGN <br />Smart Growth America defines Complete Streets as 'streets for everyone'. They are designed <br />to enable safe access for people of all ages and abilities, for all modes of travel, and to respond <br />to the communities they serve. A complete street in an urban community, such as San Marcos, <br />will look different from a complete street in a suburban community. <br />Active travel (i.e., bicycle and pedestrian mobility) has been growing in popularity, although <br />many communities lack the infrastructure to make active travel enjoyable. San Marcos <br />envisions a connected network of efficient, safe and convenient multimodal transportation <br />options that will create a more comfortable pedestrian and bicycle environment. <br />- <br />o Develop roadway cross-sections <br />that preserve the character of <br />neighborhoods, encourage <br />alternative modes and support <br />appropriately located economic <br />development. <br />OBJECTIVE <br />o Design roadways in consideration <br />of land use context, creating <br />environments that are supportive <br />of adjacent land uses. <br />
