About the Project
Complete
Streets is a street design approach that aims to balance the needs of all
residents regardless of their mode of transportation, age, physical mobility or
socioeconomic status.
Lethbridge
has multiple plans which encourage different transportation options like
walking, cycling and transit. These include:

Complete
Streets principles link these plans to our design standards
creating more livable neighbourhoods
that provide
options for residents.
Complete Streets helps us ensure our streets are safe, cost-effective and equitable, while making efficient use of land and promoting good health.
Various Complete Streets guidelines, projects and policies are in place in over 80 municipalities across Canada, including 9 in Alberta.
