Complete Streets are designed for everyone – pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, motorists, and freight– of all ages and abilities. They provide safe, accessible, and comfortable travel and support vibrant, healthy neighborhoods.
The City of Toledo incorporates Complete Streets principles into all public infrastructure projects, including planning, design, construction, reconstruction, and maintenance. This policy prioritizes safety and the needs of the city's most vulnerable users.
Projects are evaluated for opportunities to provide:
- Sidewalks, multi-use paths, and pedestrian crossings
- Bicycle lanes and transit access
- Street amenities like benches, lighting, landscaping, and wayfinding signage
- Stormwater management and green infrastructure to improve comfort, safety, and environmental quality
The City considers:
- Long-term transportation plans
- Community goals
- Neighborhood context
- Traffic patterns
- Physical constraints like existing infrastructure and adequate space
- Crash data
- Modern street design principles
- National best practices
