§ 23-615. Complete and Green Streets Policy.

(a)

The County hereby adopts a complete and green street policy and principles, consistent with the adopted Complete Street Policy by National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board and the National Complete Streets Coalition, as revised by the County Code.

(b)

All planned County financed and approved road, sidewalk, trail and transit related construction and reconstruction projects shall include environmental site design and facilities for the combined use of motor, emergency and freight vehicles, transit, bicycles and pedestrians, except when cost shall be disproportionate to the projected need or when such facilities would be inappropriate due to the nature of the project, including the context and character of the surrounding built and natural environment of the neighborhood or area.

(c)

The Department will review and revise, as deemed necessary by the Director, plans, manuals, policies, processes and the capital improvement program to foster the implementation of a complete and green street on public roadways projects, including privately built projects approved by the Department or on non-County projects funded in part or entirely by county funds.
