Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

This reluctance was confronted head on in October of last year, when a Complete Streets Bill came before the St. Louis County Council. Over the next three months, members of the County Council worked with the county Departments of Planning, Highways, and Traffic, Trailnet (the local active transportation advocacy organization), and other important stakeholders to refine the legislation while retaining the original intent and vision. After months of debate, considerable lobbying from local advocacy organizations, and two substitute bills, the County Council passed a Complete Streets policy in January.

While this county policy might be the biggest victory for Complete Streets in the St. Louis region to-date, it’s certainly not the first. Local examples of Complete Streets policies, planning, design, and projects are abundant.
