The next step is a series of meetings with allied groups and individuals to narrow our focus and get the word out. A tremendous amount of support is necessary to make LiveStreets a reality.

our thoughts...
We want Live Streets to accomplish the following:
1. Inspire people to demand complete streets and oppose any new streets that are solely automobile oriented.
2. Raise money to make minor retrofits to dangerous streets making them pedestrian and bike friendly.
3. Raise money to create packages to pursue funding needed to tackle big street revitalization projects.
4. Bring a variety of interest groups together to focus on a singular goal of improving our public realm.
5. Promote and facilitate the adoption of Complete Street ordinances by local municipalities.
