These bills made it to the Governor's desk through the hard work of the Michigan Complete Streets Coalition (MCSC), a collection of organizations and businesses led by the League of Michigan Bicyclists.
These bills pave the way for Complete Streets in Michigan. The first bill, HB 6151, will require the Michigan Department of Transportation to plan, design, and construct new roads to accommodate all roadway users including bicyclists, pedestrians and those with disabilities. The second bill, HB 6152, requires each municipality to address current levels of service and state goals to serve all walks of life in their master planning process. The legislation also creates a statewide Complete Streets Advisory Panel in which LMB will be an active member. The Advisory Committee will help draft MDOT's Complete Streets policy as well as model policy language for local municipalities.
More detailed information on the legislation can be found on the Michigan Complete Streets Coalition website. LMB would like to thank all of our Coalition partners for their hard work and dedication and also express gratitude to all of our members who contacted their legislators in support of these bills.
