Sec. 23-615. Complete and Green Streets Policy

The County hereby adopts a complete and green street policy and principles, consistent with the adopted Complete Street Policy by National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board and the National Complete Streets Coalition, as revised by the County Code.

All planned County financed and approved road, sidewalk, trail, and transit related construction and reconstruction projects shall include environmental site design and facilities for the combined use of motor, emergency and freight vehicles, transit, bicycles and pedestrians, and shall be constructed pursuant to the adopted County Urban Street Design Standards and the applicable master, sector, or functional master plan.

The Department will review and revise, as deemed necessary by the Director, plans, manuals, policies, processes, and the capital improvement program to foster the implementation of a complete and green street on public roadways projects, including privately built projects approved by the Department or on non-County projects funded in part or entirely by county funds.
