Complete Streets
Complete Streets
A Complete Streets Approach focuses on designing and building safer streets for everyone including those who walk, bike, use a wheelchair, use public transportation, and drive. In September 2024, the City of San Antonio updated its Complete Streets Policy. NOW we are creating a Complete Street Design Guide which anyone can use to design a Complete Street. The Design Guide will include infrastructure recommendations, street types, and a prioritization of recommendations.
Virtual Meeting for Complete Streets Policy Revision
Join us as we review changes to the City's Complete Streets Policy. These revisions to the 2011 policy will bring safety and accessibility improvements to San Antonio's street infrastructure. To register: click here.
Example of a Complete Street design:
We need your help developing some types of streets for the Design Guide. Each of these types of streets (called "typologies") has a different job and is designed differently to handle the traffic and activity that happens on them. Right now we have 6 draft street types to consider:
- Rural roads for agricultural land use
- Park streets in and around recreation and open spaces
- Neighborhood streets in single family neighborhoods
- Connector streets surrounded by commercial businesses and big parking lots
- Industrial streets surrounded warehouses and manufacturing
- Primary/Main streets surrounded by a mix of businesses, housing, entertainment, and lots of foot traffic.
