Complete Streets RI

Coalition Campaign Our 2012 Legislation

Municipal Resolutions

South Kingstown Newport

Working with the RI Department of Transportation

In addition to the statewide legislation and the eight municipal resolutions, we have been working with the state’s department of transportation to establish complete streets concepts as standard operating procedure.

We expect that when the complete streets bill passes this year, RIDOT will adopt the ITE’s context sensitive design manual as a planning instrument for state projects and as a tool for municipalities to use as they develop their local projects.
