Complete streets are streets that are designed and operated with users of every age and ability in mind. Now every roadway project in central Ohio that uses MORPC funds must enable safe and comfortable access for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, public transit, people with disabilities, delivery and service personnel, freight haulers, emergency responders, and other users.
