On May 25, 2010, the Midland Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve a Complete Streets policy. The Non-motorized Transportation Improvement Advisory Committee first outlined the policy, and then recommended it to the Planning Commission. The policy does not specify any one specific road design or financing, but will require city planners to design, operate and maintain streets that are safe and accessible for all users.
More information about the Non-motorized Transportation Improvement Plan can be found here.
Good work, Midland!

Congratulations, the design community appreciates all the hard work and vision the individuals in Midland have put in. both the public and private sectors. Clearly the need is understood by this wonderful municipality. Hopefully MDOT will get it’s act together this week.
Thanks
