Complete Streets

This guide is designed to help cities implement a context-sensitive approach to street design, which is consistent with complete streets principles. Individual sections address streets, street design elements, interim design strategies, intersections, intersection design elements, and design controls.

Tactical Urbanism

This guide discusses several types of tactical urbanism projects for public rights-of-way. These include projects that temporarily extend the curb, pilot right-of-way reconfigurations, transform parking spaces into parklets, temporarily close streets, or create interim public plazas. The guide provides short descriptions and examples for each of these tactics.
