It is not my intention to duplicate the multitude of material already on the Web on this topic. The concept is not new but the emphasis on it is. The need to design our streets and roadways to accommodate more than just the motorists and trucks will carry us through this century. Even though the cost of gasoline has dropped recently, this can only be a temporary event. Global demand increases and the likelihood of "Peak Oil" production make that a certainty.
Meanwhile we need to make sure that we do not continue to put all our transportation eggs in the same basket lest we lose them all in one collision with economic reality.
I will have more to say on Complete Streets in this blog.
