– Efforts to promote street safety and active living are occurring at the city level thanks in part to work by the San Antonio Streets Coalition.
Bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks and road medians are some aspects that make up complete streets. All of these efforts aim to mitigate traffic fatalities. “Recent projects show substantial effort and success — such as the protected bike lanes and sidewalks along Buena Vista Street,” Griffin said.in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health — with research from UTSA Civil Engineering — shows a correlation between motor vehicles and bicycle crashes in San Antonio.
“Although we have many streets that are congested with vehicles, and maintaining that use is warranted, many can be redesigned as complete streets to save lives, improve the quality of life and save money from asphalt re-surfacing,” he said. “The city has done excellent planning, but we need more follow-through to get projects done,” Griffin said. “Collaboration is key to each part of building complete streets.”
