This makes the information in the book both useful to professionals, as well as easy to understand at a glance for the general public. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The various real world examples\u00a0featured in the book demonstrate\u00a0the many forms that Complete Streets can take.\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">Street redesigns range from the simple addition of painted bike lanes, to multi-million dollar transit projects. Other streets profiled in the book have seen expanded sidewalks, streetscaping, or new safety or accessibility features to encourage pedestrian activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The book also looks at evidence from before and after changes were made to each street, to determine how successful the examples\u00a0have been at meeting key goals, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increasing sustainable and active transportation<\/li>\n<li>Improving safety<\/li>\n<li>Improving level of service for users of all modes<\/li>\n<li>Improving the surrounding environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The book is a joint project between TCAT, Ryerson University, and the University of Toronto, with funding from the Government of Ontario through the Places to Grow Implementation Fund. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This research builds on the previous reports\u00a0on Theme of <em>Understanding Complete Streets in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region,\u00a0<\/em>including\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/knowledge-centre\/complete-streets-catalogue\/\">The Complete Streets Catalogue<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>as well as <em><a href=\"https:\/\/tcat.ca\/knowledge-centre\/complete-streets-evaluation-tool\/\">Complete Streets Evaluation<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We also have a limited number\u00a0of print copies of\u00a0<em>Complete Street Transformations in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region\u00a0<\/em>available.
