Audio of “Complete Streets: How National Best Practices Can Influence the Buffalo" can be streamed here.
"A healthy and well-connected transportation system is essential to promote the health of residents and the economic development of a region. Complete Streets policies ensure that communities will continue to evolve and develop in sustainable ways. The implementation of Complete Streets creates opportunities for all transportation modes, and creates an inviting environment for residents, travelers and businesses. A thriving transportation system is also a key source of jobs and income in a community. The public forum highlighted the importance of implementing our local Complete Streets policies, and will draw on examples of national best practices through a panel of experts."
