• 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.
