Chicago has reorganized its department of transportation to form a "complete streets" group. This would be of enormous benefit for the city of Phoenix if we want to move forward in the same manner of other cities, especially with upcoming streetscape projects. Our citizens are begging for complete streets.

"A new “complete streets group” is combining most of the functions of CDOT’s bike, pedestrian and streetscaping sections. “Fifteen years ago you might have had a bike coordinator and a pedestrian coordinator and someone working on transit projects, but now the transportation field is recognizing the need for complete streets and multimodal planning.” Kubly said. “So the organization should reflect the reflect the policy we’re promoting. We’ve created a new complete streets implementation group, recognizing that all road projects we work on should be complete streets. That’s exciting because it institutionalizes the policy.”"
