Cleveland to soon join Columbus and Dayton in supporting Complete Streets!

The Clean Transportation Program is working with several local partners through the 2019
Sustainable Cleveland Action Team to assist the City of Cleveland in crafting a Complete
Streets Ordinance. The goal is to pass it over the summer. Completing the Streets ensures
that future road construction projects facilitate safe use of the road right-of-way by all users
whether elderly, cyclists, youth, or transit users, in order to make Cleveland a better place to
live and work. More info on Complete Streets @ www.completestreets.org
