In recent years, many DOTs and other public agencies consider implementing Complete Street designs to make our road infrastructure friendlier for multimodal users. This project developed multiresolution analysis methodologies to quantitatively assess the effectiveness and impact of Complete Street designs. Case studies were performed using the Salt
