A Resolution Authorizing AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION 92-4, COMPLETE STREETS POLICY, TO STRENGTHEN THE POLICY \n \n AND ENCOURAGE WALKING, BICYCLING, TRANSIT, AND PROMOTING SAFE OPERATIONS FOR \n \n ALL USERS whereas, the existing Complete Streets policy is too broadly defined and does not \n \n address specific design and aesthetic elements and does not clarify when and \n \n how Complete Streets should be implemented, and,

WHEREAS, an amended Complete Streets policy should create a committee \n \n to publicly address and make transparent the process of how roadways are \n \n selected for Complete Streets implementation and this committee shall abide by \n \n objective, quantifiable, criterion when evaluating a corridor for the \n \n feasibility of a complete streets application,
