• Abstract:
  Many transportation investment decisions are based in large part on a return on investment ; in terms of increased vehicular throughput and increased travel speeds/reduced travel times. ; Alternatively, today’s planning conventions also recognize the value of Complete Streets ; roadway projects that promote safety and quality access for all types of users, including ; pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and motorists. This leaves decision-makers with the ; responsibility of prioritizing transportation infrastructure with competing demands; vehicle ; efficiency vs multimodal quality. Economic development may be an important attribute ; for decision-makers to consider in their transportation investment prioritization processes. ; As such, it is important to understand the economic benefits of Complete Streets projects ; compared with non-Complete Streets type projects at different geographic scales such as ; within the community or the city as a whole to facilitate effective decision-making.
