Abstract:

This report examines one type of conversion, converting unrestricted-access state highway segments to “community main streets.” Going beyond the multi-modal transportation aims of “Complete Streets” initiatives, such conversions consider multiple transportation and non-transportation functions. Since many, if not most, of these functions support community health and well-being, and since community health tends to be a high priority in most communities, the authors use a community health lens to winnow through tools and metrics for assessing the opportunities presented by particular street segments for such conversions. The report explains the evidence base linking five domains of street functions: transportation, the physical environment, economic conditions, land-use and social conditions to public health and well-being.
