The historical purpose of street design since the industrial revolution has been to move as much motorized traffic as quickly as possible from one point to another. Of course, based on this optic the focus of street design has been the automobile. Now, times have changed and there is a renewed interest for the health and welfare of our communities to convert our automobile-centered streets into livable spaces to support the growth of our communities. As more and more jurisdictions implement Complete Street Practices, designs and projects, there is a need to establish a clear methodology to evaluate the performance of these new facilities. Through this course, engineers, planners, architects, contractors, and practitioners within the A/E/C industry will learn the latest industry guidelines and standards for evaluating the performance of complete street policies and projects.
