Louisiana Adopts "Complete Streets" Policy

July 27th, 2010

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has officially adopted a Complete Streets policy, promising that all new and reconstruction road projects will include space for pedestrians and bicyclists. These Complete Streets will have sidewalks, bike lanes and safe crosswalks. The aim of the policy is to ensure safety and access for those choosing to use non-automobile forms of transportation, encouraging physical activity and improved safety for everyone on the road. LPHI served as a member of the DOTD advisory committee. Click here to download the Complete Streets policy.
