Complete Street

A “Complete Street” is a road designed to be safe for users of all ages and abilities and exhibits a high degree of multimodal level of service informed by various plans adopted by the City of Spokane.

The “Complete Street Program” focuses not just on individual roads but on changing the community and engineering decision-making process so that all users are routinely considered during the planning, designing, building, and operating of all roadways.

Street Project

"Street Project" means the construction, reconstruction, retrofit, maintenance, alteration, or repair of any street, and includes the planning, design, approval, and implementation processes, except that "Street Project" does not include minor routine upkeep such as cleaning, sweeping, mowing, spot repair or patching potholes, paving unpaved streets, or interim measures on detour routes. If safety and convenience can be improved within the scope of pavement resurfacing such as grind and overlay and restriping, such projects shall implement Complete Streets as outlined in the adopted Bicycle Master Plan, Bicycle Priority Network, Pedestrian Master Plan and the Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan to provide access and increase safety for all users. Grind and overlay and restriping projects shall be limited to striping elements as called for in the Bicycle Master Plan, the Bicycle Priority Network, and the Pedestrian Master Plan. Changes to existing signalization shall not trigger additional Complete Streets elements.

Users

"Users" mean individuals that use streets, including people walking, people using wheeled assisted mobility devices such as wheelchairs, people riding bicycles, people using micromobility devices, people driving automobiles, people driving freight delivery vehicles, and people using transit options, people of all ages and abilities, including children, youth, families, older adults, and individuals with disabilities.
