On Friday, July 26th at 2pm at City Hall, Councilmember Lourdes Barroso de Padilla, Chair of the Public Service and Transportation Committee, will be hosting a public hearing to review Complete Streets. Complete Streets are roadways that are designed, implemented, operated, and maintained in an equitable and context-sensitive manner so that people of all ages, incomes, and abilities can use them safely. MORPC's Complete Streets Policy was updated this year to emphasize balancing safety and mobility for all users. Part of the policy update included revising the design section to reference the latest federal regulations and standards regarding required and recommended street design manuals.
A presentation will be given by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission and the Department of Public Service.
All interested residents are invited to offer public testimony via WebEx, or in person during the hearing. Requests for public and written testimony must be emailed to Amaris Lemus at aslemus@columbs.gov by 3:00pm the day before the hearing. Each speaker's remarks are limited to three minutes or less.
