Thunderhead Alliance Publishes Complete Streets Guide
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Tue, 06/20/2006 - 6:24am
he newly updated, second edition of the Thunderhead Alliance\ Guide to Complete Streets Campaigns is now available through all on-line book sellers. This Guide is written for leaders of Thunderhead member organizations as an important tool for Thunderhead’s National Complete the Streets Campaign. But anyone interested in securing a complete streets policy for their state or community will relish the Guide’s deep analysis of current complete streets policies and step-by-step campaign development process. Elected and appointed officials, community leaders and concerned citizens will be ready to take part in current campaigns or launch their own campaign after reading the Guide.
Thunderhead’s National Complete the Streets Campaign sets a goal of winning complete streets policies in all 50 states by 2008 in time to influence a federal complete streets policy as part of the federal transportation law. “This Guide is a vital component of our National Complete the Streets Campaign as it condenses everything anyone must know in order to get a proper start on a complete streets policy campaign,” said Sue Knaup, Thunderhead’s Executive Director.
Complete streets policies are building momentum across the country with most of the existing policies enacted since 2004. As the national coalition of state and local bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organizations, Thunderhead’s national campaign is tapping this momentum and leveraging their network of professional organizations to develop campaigns specifically adapted to the unique states and communities they serve. Thunderhead is offering their national campaign as part of the National Complete Streets Coalition, an impressive group of diverse national organizations representing seniors, engineers, planners, transit users and the disabled community, all committed to the principles of complete streets.
Thunderhead’s Guide to Complete Streets Campaigns was made possible by generous support from Planet Bike and the National Bicycle Dealers Association. To find out more about the Thunderhead Alliance and their National Complete the Streets Campaign, please visit www.thunderheadalliance.org
