Complete Streets Planning and Design Guidelines Chapter 1: Implementing Complete Streets Chapter 2: Incorporating Complete Streets in the Planning and Design Process Chapter 3: Understanding Context and Designing for All Users Chapter 4: Planning and Design Elements Chapter 5: Planning and Designing Complete Intersections Chapter 6: Designing for Transit in Complete Streets Chapter 7: Accommodating Pedestrians and Bicyclists on Structures Chapter 8: Implementing Complete Streets in Maintenance and Operations Projects Chapter 9: Street Elements: Design Elements for Context Based Solutions

  5. Incorporating Complete Streets into the Planning Process • Complete Street Cross-Sections are Incorporated into the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) (Creating the Transportation Vision) • Cross-Sections Demonstrate Future Needs (with specific consideration given to multimodal facilities and is developed to reflect the community’s land use vision and context) • MPO/RPO’s should work with NCDOT to ensure their CTP promotes their community’s vision for Complete Streets (through the maps, the accompanying report development and through the formation of problem statements to be included as part of the report)

  6. Incorporating Complete Streets into the Planning Process • For MPO’s the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) should address a 20-year timeframe and must be financially-constrained (It serves as a subset of the CTP) • RPO’s do not have a LRTP and the State Transportation Improvement Plan serves as their plan • County Land Use Plans are compared to their nearby MPO’s LRTP to how they fit with one another (In Rural Counties Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans are tied to land use) • MPO’s rank their financially-constrained projects and submit them into the prioritization process for inclusion in the STIP

  11. Quality of Service Quality of service is based on street design elements that improve street functionality for bicyclists, pedestrians and transit users. For walking, biking and transit to be attractive travel options, the experience of using non-motorized transportation must feel comfortable and safe.
