In Florida, Broward County Commissioners recently adopted a Complete Streets policy, which will help create safer roads for cyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, and motorists of all ages. Not will only there be safer roads, but this type of policy helps create a healthy environment which promotes walking and cycling.

According to a blog post from BrowardNet, Mayor Kristin Jacobs of Broward County encouraged the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team to create a Complete Streets policy. In this effort the Broward Metropolitan Planing Organization, the Florida Department of Transportation, the Broward Regional Health Planning Council, and others worked to design the Complete Streets guidelines. Over 2,000 Broward residents have participated in public workshops, focus groups, and surveys related to Complete Street design.
