4
Complete Streets are streets designed and operated to enable safe access for ALL USERS.
5
Why are Complete Streets Important?
6
Increased Safety
- 2008: > 5,000 pedestrian/bicyclist deaths and >120,000 injuries
- Pedestrian crashes are twice as likely in places without sidewalks
7
- Over 65: 21% of Americans
20.4% of Brevard Residents*
- Under 15: 16% in Brevard County*
- Many low income Americans do not
have access to automobiles 10.5% of residents live below the poverty line in Brevard County 4.5% of households own no automobiles **
Expand the Ability to Move Around
33%
Americans don’t drive
55%
Americans rather drive less
