What are the benefits of Complete Streets? Complete Streets Stimulate the local economy Providing the infrastructure for people to get to work by walking, biking or taking transit can provide a boost to the economy and local businesses will benefit from increased direct foot and bicycle traffic. Complete Streets spur private investment The addition of space for sidewalk cafes and a redesign of the street for pedestrians is typically followed by private investment, including residential, retail and offices, resulting in a vibrant downtown destination. Complete Streets raise property values Complete Streets policies lead to networks of streets that are safe and accessible for people on foot or riding bikes, which in turn raises property values.
