> Metro has developed a Draft Complete Streets Policy to establish a standard of excellence for multimodal design. A Complete Streets approach views all transportation improvements as opportunities to create safe, more accessible streets for all users, including public transit users and operators, pedestrians, bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, motorists, and movers of commercial goods. This policy is intended to help advance state, regional and local efforts to create a more “complete” and integrated transportation network for all modes of travel in LA County.
