Residents are invited to give their feedback on the draft complete streets design manual

Jun 24, 2022

Complete streets are streets that are designed to be safe for all users: people who walk, bicycle, take transit or drive, and people of varying ages and levels of mobility. They also consider other uses like sidewalk cafés, street furniture, street trees, utilities, and stormwater management.

The City of Greater Sudbury is developing a Complete Streets Design Manual that will provide a set of consistent guidelines and tools to inform the design, implementation, maintenance and monitoring of Complete Streets across the city. The purpose of this manual is to:

  • Encourage designs that better balance considerations for the different transportation modes that share streets;
  • Focus on enhancing road safety, and;
  • Design streets to address the transportation requirements and placemaking functions of surrounding areas.

A comprehensive background review was conducted of the entire road network for Greater Sudbury. The review looked at the land use and network context as well as the functional road class. As a result of the review, 9 potential cross sections were developed.

Residents are invited to join the interactive virtual meeting where the project team will present the draft cross-sections and engage with participants through poll questions after which residents will be able to ask questions and provide feedback.  Residents and stakeholders can also comment on whether priorities have been appropriately reflected in the nine potential cross-sections and share other designs and suggestions for improvement on the over to you webpage at overtoyou.greatersudbury.ca
