Transportation - Transporte

Transportation/Circulation is about the mobility of people and goods and the circulation system formed by the network of roadways, bicycle routes, and pedestrian routes, so people can go from their houses to work, to stores, to school, to a park for recreation in a safe and efficient manner. Below are some of the most current efforts working towards the implementation of complete streets practices along South 12th Avenue, along with art and landscaping features, that would make the area much more accessible to those who want to walk or bike from place to place along the corridor, as well as improve accessibility for people who live in the area.
