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 is developing the Complete Streets Design Manual to provide consistent guidelines and tools to inform the design and implementation 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, nine potential cross sections were developed. Residents and stakeholders are now invited to comment on these potential cross-sections and share other designs and suggestions for improvement.
