Cleveland Complete and Green Streets public feedback wanted

Sustainable Cleveland 2019 has been working with the City of Cleveland in completing a "Complete and Green Streets Typology and Design Manual" since Cleveland passed the Complete and Green Streets Ordinance in September of 2011.

They have posted the presentation from April 10th, 2013 online and are hoping for public feedback and suggestions.

The City of Cleveland passed a Complete and Green Streets ordinance in September 2011. In effect as of January 2012, the ordinance requires implementation of sustainable policies and guidelines in all construction projects within the public right of way. This ordinance will create a walking, biking and public transportation-friendly city while reducing environmental impact by incorporating green infrastructure.
Some characteristics of Complete and Green Streets include enhanced transit waiting environments, bicycle lanes and signs, pedestrian refuges, public art, waste containers, crosswalk enhancements, ADA accessibility, way-finding signage, permeable pavement, green space or trees and multi-use paths.

We have began the process of creating a Complete and Green Streets Typology and Design Manual to assist in implementing the Complete and Green Streets Ordinance. We currently have an inter-organizational task force overseeing this process. The Task Force has classified streets into 10 different types, each with its own priorities for pedestrians, vehicles, transit, cyclists and green infrastructure.
We are seeking the public’s feedback on our Complete and Green Streets Typology.
