But here's the thing…there are some huge gaps in the policy as it's currently written, and we need your help to push for some final changes that would make this policy enforceable, transparent, and accountable.

We need your help now to win a citywide policy for safe streets!

Tomorrow, Oct. 2 at 5pm, City Council is hosting a public hearing on adopting a Complete Streets policy, which would make designing our streets for the safety and comfort of all road users the default in our city.
