Safe Routes to School Network

Complete Streets Resolution passes Missouri House with one hour to spare!

HCR 67, the resolution in support of Complete Streets in Missouri, passed the Missouri House today--only one hour before the session ended.

Congratulations to Rep. Mike Sutherland of Warrenton, who has championed the Complete Streets concept in the Missouri General Assembly for several years, and the sponsor of HCR 67.

Sutherland is term limited out this year and the passage of HCR 67 on the last day of session--and the major changes that have come about as the result of bringing this legislation forward year after year--counts as one of his major legislative achievements.

The resolution is a comprehensive outline of the reasons for pursuing complete streets policies and urges all levels of government--from the city level up to the federal government--to use complete streets principles when designing their transportation systems.
