What is Complete Streets?

Complete streets puts people first. It is a way of thinking about all the ways our streets build community and benefit people of all ages and abilities. Complete Streets includes everyone, whether they walk, roll, drive, or ride transit. Complete Streets affects how we plan, design, operate, and maintain our streets.

Our goal is to create a transportation system that responds to recent changes and anticipates those to come over the next decade. We have the responsibility to design streets that work for everyone—not only drivers. We also have to invest in areas that have been left behind and in high crash corridors where design changes can save lives.

The Paint the Street Program aims to support the strong arts and culture community in Detroit, provide opportunities to strengthen community identity, and indirectly reduce neighborhood speeding.

 

Speed Hump Program 

The goal is to reduce speeding on residential streets, prioritizing streets next to schools, parks, rec. centers, streets with high numbers of children, and those with perceived or documented issues of speeding.

Bagley Street Streetscape Project

This project provides a shared street experience for the corridor that will include new roadway pavement, underground infrastructure, festoon and traditional lighting, street furniture, brick pavers, and landscaping.
Bagley between 24th Street to I-75 Service Drive has been re-envisioned as a “shared street”. Bagley is a versatile new curb-less street that lets the street serve traffic and business needs, while transforming into a lively plaza for special events. The project included enhanced lighting, brick pavers, plantings, and decorations, while making it a better place for residents, visitors, and businesses.
