Join the coalition of supporters by signing the Michigan Complete Streets Petition today.
Petition Language:
I join the Michigan Complete Streets Coalition in support of statewide Complete Streets policies that require state and local road agencies to design and maintain roadways for all users, of all ages and abilities.
The streets of our cities and towns are an important part of the livability of our communities. They ought to be designed for everyone, whether young or old, motorist or bicyclist, walker or wheelchair user, bus rider or shopkeeper. It is time that our state’s transportation planning agencies — including the Michigan Department of Transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, local road agencies, and local governments — adopt Complete Streets policies and build a safer, cleaner, more sustainable transportation system.

For society to serve all, the use of motorized transportation must not be required. The options of walking and bicycling have many benefits beyond the individual to the society as a whole. Less petrochemicals useage and less pollution are a benefit to all.

You can still support safer roadways by signing the petition. [...]
