Why Detroit Needs Complete Streets Ordinance
Detroit lacks a Complete Streets ordinance, which could improve safety and connectivity for residents by ensuring safer roads, says Todd Scott, executive director of the Detroit Greenways Coalition.
Complete Streets can improve the physical and mental health of Detroiters, according to Scott. Notably, 22% of residents do not have a vehicle, and Detroit has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates among U.S. cities.
