ITE Northeastern District Annual Meeting

05-23-2013

RSG's Stephen Gayle will be presenting “Complete Streets Implementation” which will share a Complete Streets Fact Sheet which RSG prepared in response to New York State's Complete Streets law that has been in effect for more than a year. The Fact Sheet was developed for the NYS Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations in 2012, under our Staff Services contract. The purpose of the Fact Sheet is to provide the MPOs a tool to use in explaining to their local government members and potentially the public the concept of Complete Streets and the implementation requirements under the law. This presentation will review the specifics of the New York law, and evidence of complete streets implementation a year after it has been in effect.
