Two weeks ago, Allie Shook, head of Discover Plymouth presented members of the Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety with a draft of the proposed Complete Streets Policy for review.
The goals of the Complete Streets Policy are to provide safe and accessible multimodal options for people traveling between home, work, school, recreation and retail. To provide mobility options for persons of limited income and to encourage and facilitate a community focused on healthy living, beautification, and economic development with attracts new people and businesses.
The Complete Streets committee hopes the policy will guide and direct decision makers in the City of Plymouth to design, maintain, and improve the transportation network in a manner that provides safe access for all users.
Once the Complete Streets Policy is adopted by the city it will become part of the zoning ordinance.
The Plymouth Boar of Public Works and Safety will discuss the policy at their meeting tonight beginning at 6 p.m. in the council chambers of city hall.
