Complete Streets in New Jersey
We need your help! The New Jersey Bicycle & Pedestrian Resource Center and the New Jersey Department of Transportation are asking readers for nominations for Complete Streets awards.
This year there will be two categories of awards: Complete Street Champions and Complete Streets Excellence Awards.
The Complete Street Champion Awards will go to three individuals/groups/teams that have demonstrated commitment to advancing Complete Streets in their communities, including Safe Routes to School advocates.
The Complete Streets Excellence Awards will go to municipalities/counties/projects that have demonstrated excellence in Complete Streets policy development or implementation.
Awards will be presented by NJDOT and BPRC at the bi-annual New Jersey Complete Streets Summit on October 24, 2017 at Rutgers University. Stay tuned for information about registration later this summer.
Cover of the recently released Complete Streets Design Guide, an important topic to be discussed at the summit.
