Click to read the Stamford Complete Streets Manual

Streets are for people, and Complete Streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. Complete Streets may look different and contain different elements depending on the location.  In urban communities like Stamford, the concept of Complete Streets goes beyond safety, tying in with issues of human health, equity, aesthetics, economic development, environmental protection, and livability, all within a specific neighborhood context.

Complete Streets represents a paradigm shift in traditional road construction philosophy. Instead of a reactive attempt to accommodate bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly practices in projects, Complete Streets policies require all road construction and improvement projects to begin by evaluating how the right-of-way serves all who use it.

In 2015, the Stamford Board of Representatives adopted the Complete Streets Ordinance. You can read the ordinance here.

Stamford has a Complete Streets Manual that sets forth the City's vision for how street should be designed and how Stamford will grow and develop its mobility infrastructure for all roadway users.
