IN Complete Streets Inititiative: Update and Request for Action
Posted by Henry Scott on February 3, 2010
HB 1182 (Complete Streets) passed out of the Roads and Transportation Committee by a vote of 10-2 on February 2nd. The bill specifies that beginning December 1, 2010, INDOT will be required to report, on an annual basis, the steps taken and progress made in developing and implementing complete streets guidelines at the state level. The bill also explicitly defines a “user” as a motorist, pedestrian, bicyclist, or transit passenger. More about the Complete Streets initiative can be found HERE.
The bill will now move to the full House floor, and citizens are encouraged to reach out to their representatives. It is important that you take this action by early next week! For help identifying or contacting your legislators, click HERE.

On February 8, the bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Transportation & Veterans Affairs.
That’s the same committee that approved the 2009 Bicycles and Traffic Safety bill (which eventually died).
