Description: Residents, planners, and engineers have begun turning roads into “Complete Streets” designed for everyone. Complete Streets are comfortable for people riding bicycles and walking, and also meet the needs of travelers regardless of age, income, or ability. Complete Streets are active and vibrant. They encourage people to get out of their cars and walk and bike to shops, restaurants, and other destinations. As of June 2016, nearly 1/5 of the municipalities in Massachusetts have registered their Complete Streets policies with MassDOT’s online portal and we expect that number to continue to increase. Once the policies are adopted, the focus must shift towards planning and implementation. MAPC has created the Planning Active Streets Tool to help Massachusetts municipalities put their Complete Streets policies into action. This tool consists of a set of Utility Scores for each segment of roadway that indicates how useful that street segment is for connecting residents with schools, shops, restaurants, parks, and transit stations.The tool uses travel demand modelling software and concepts to ascertain how many trips residents might make on a particular roadway when traveling from their homes to school, shops and restaurants, transit stations, and parks. The dataset contains a separate score for each destination by each mode, for a total of eight basic scores. There is also a set of three composite scores—one for each mode, and one overall score.The scores can be combined with infrastructure data to help municipalities answer questions such as:• Which higher speed roads may need separated bicycle lanes?• Where should sidewalk installation or repair be prioritized?• Which street corners should be fitted with curb cuts first?• Where could street trees or other landscaping be appreciated by the most people?• Which municipal sidewalks should be shoveled or plowed first?
