(2 hour session) Just six years ago, Missouri had only three Complete Streets policies. Now the state has more than 20 Complete Streets policies at the local, regional and statewide level, and has been identified as one of the leaders in the nationwide Complete Streets movement. All six of the state’s six largest cities have now adopted Complete Streets policies; citywide Complete Streets policies cover over 1.4 million of the state’s residents. At the metropolitan planning organization level, Complete Streets policies cover more than half of the state’s residents. How were these policies created and adopted? What were the strategies used by advocacy groups, agencies and local citizens? What challenges did they face in creating and adopting policies? How did they overcome the objections? How successful have the policies been? What challenges are advocates, citizens and agencies facing now? Get a take-home list of strategies, ideas and examples.
