From the document:
This Complete Streets Policy envisions streets that serve not only as automobile thoroughfares, but also as public spaces and community resources. Complete streets are an integrated network of roadways, sidewalks, bike lanes, and other inviting facilities for those who choose to travel by any means and for those who seek to use the streets as neighborhood resources. The City envisions that Newton’s street network will be designed and operated to provide safety, comfort, and access for all who use the street, whether they use the streets as residents, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, motorists, motorcyclists, freight haulers, service and delivery personnel, and emergency responders, etc. (collectively, “all users”).
This policy directs City staff to consistently incorporate complete streets vision, principles, and values into all planning and decisions related to the city’s roadways.
