Practical Application of the Complete Streets Guide
The incorporation of pedestrian walkways, bicycle accommodations, pedestrian refuge islands, high-visibility crossings, narrowed travel lanes and a landscaped buffer provide a more comfortable environment with safer connections for full connectivity and walkability as seen in Figure 7-22. The visualization shows how the addition of the Greenway, pedestrian refuge areas, high-visibility crossings and the addition of more landscaping and trees provide a clear delineation of space for all users, while making the intersection safer and more comfortable for vulnerable users even in a project with limited funding to overcome physical constraints. Not every retrofit will result in an ideal complete street, however, following this guide and providing facilities for all expected users, each retrofit can bring the street closer to completeness.
