\"BicycleAllianceofWA_Neighborhood-Safe-Streets-Bill-Fact-Sheet_Jan2013\"<\/a>Last week Pierce County joined the growing list of local and regional jurisdictions in Washington state to adopt Complete Streets when the County Council passed the Complete Streets Ordinance<\/a> by a 4-1 vote. Passage of this ordinance will help ensure that public roadways offer safe and convenient access to all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit and motorists.<\/p>\n

The movement for Complete Streets in Pierce County began in 2007 when the Tacoma-Pierce County Board of Health endorsed a policy that supported the adoption and implementation of Complete Streets policies by local municipalities. The Coalition for Active Transportation<\/a> and other community groups have worked in earnest for the past couple of years for the passage of a county ordinance.<\/p>\n

The State of Washington established a Complete Streets Program<\/a> under WSDOT in 2011 that currently remains unfunded.<\/p>\n

The following Washington municipalities have adopted some form of Complete Streets policy:<\/p>\n

Airway Heights
\nBremerton
\nBurien
\nEdmonds
\nEverett
\nFederal Way
\nIssaquah
\nKirkland
\nMoses Lake
\nMountlake Terrace
\nOcean Shores
\nPierce County
\nRedmond
\nRenton
\nSeatac
