A very diverse county with development constraints from the Highlands in the north and a need to redevelop and become more sustainable in the southPass through for our highways. Really defined by the County roadsMany scenic and historic assets
- As defined by the Plan- But how can you tell? You should be able to explain it to a child, so for that I turned to one of my favorite doctors and philosophers…Dr. Seuss
Is it safe?- Would I go there again?
- Relates to the land uses to better serve local residents or businesses therefore enhancing their communitiesIdentifying access needs of businesses whether it be more mass transit access for employees or customers, freight access for deliveries, or bike ped emphasis of a downtownUtility of meeting multiple needs at once eliminates the need to go back and reconfigure roadways. Route traffic where it needs to be (trucks) Green streets aspects of complete streets can reduce the impact on the actual facilities.Having a Complete Streets policy and Implementation plan in place are aspects that NJDOT is looking at in respect to Local Aid although not required as of yet.Aligning with state policies can only help in pursuing grant funding from NJDOT or other governmental and non-profit entitiesDefining a clear sense of transportation needs can help communities champion efforts in collaboration with the County

It starts with the Transportation Element of the County Master PlanReally a land use element first that defines transportation needs and goalsComplete Streets is at the heart of the plan and implementation of the goals in the plan
Collaboration with local residents, municipalities and the engineering department really the key to the plan and current implementation projectsEach mode highlighted and serve as a guide along with the Complete Streets Guidelines talked about laterNJ Future Award
Overview of Complete Streets is in the plan and how to use the Complete Streets Guidelines.
Complete in conjunction with the engineersRepresents the most unique set of on-road conditions and mobility needs defined in the Transportation Element
Pivot for the guidelines with AASHTO and DOT standardsFlexible and easy to edit after demonstration projects have been analyzed
Will be done later this springCSG references provide flexibilityRepaving will serve to provide lessons learned and best management practicesDevelopment review will be a part of the checklistTransportation elements will serve as a reference for priority facilities Will provide local guidance on CS policies and have already received a request

Example of what we have achieved in our first year of collaboration on this effort- Highest order roads saw the most change which bolds wellSome local skepticism but the roads are functioning better than everFirst official bike lane
Another exampleCorr enhancement program will be used to buy sharrow and bike lane templates to link up to these roadways
