Here

manage
our

network
to
provide
safe
and
efficient
streets
and
facilities
for
all
travelers,
including
drivers,
transit
riders,
pedestrians
and
bicyclists.
Our
Complete

are
intended
to
improve
safety
and
access
for
all
users,
as
well
as
improve
Street

signal
enhancements
street

upgrades
marking

bike
lanes
and
improved
access
to
trails,
as
well
as
updates
to
storm
drainage
and
improvements
to
transit
stops
as
Arlington
grows.

Still,
the
use
of
our
entire
transportation
network
to
complete
Street

occur
in
both
our
