Article 11 - Miscellaneous Provisions
331 - Consideration of Complete Street Design.

(b) Complete street design features are roadway design features that
accommodate and facilitate convenient access and mobility by all users,
including current and projected users, particularly pedestrians,
bicyclists and individuals of all ages and abilities. These features may
include, but need not be limited to: sidewalks, paved shoulders suitable
for use by bicyclists, lane striping, bicycle lanes, share the road
signage, crosswalks, road diets, pedestrian control signalization, bus
pull outs, curb cuts, raised crosswalks and ramps and traffic calming
measures; and recognize that the needs of users of the road network vary
according to a rural, urban and suburban context.
(c) This section shall not apply if it has been determined and set
forth in publicly available documents that one of the following exists:
(i) use by bicyclists and pedestrians is prohibited by law, such as
within interstate highway corridors; or
(ii) the cost would be disproportionate to the need as determined by
factors including, but not limited to, the following: land use context;
current and projected traffic volumes; and population density; or
(iii) demonstrated lack of need as determined by factors, including,
but not limited to, land use, current and projected traffic volumes,
including population density, or demonstrates lack of community support;
or
(iv) use of the design features would have an adverse impact on, or be
contrary to, public safety.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the
department or agency with jurisdiction over a project to expend monies
in accordance with subdivision (a) of this section that exceed the
amount of state and federal funding for complete street design features.
