Benefits of Better Streets
Get Paid
Support Muni and a transit-first city: Every transit trip begins and ends with a walking trip. Well-designed streets that are safe for pedestrians, have amenities that people need, and connect to important transit lines will encourage greater transit use.
Promote public safety: Streets that are active and have ‘eyes on the street’ will enhance residents’ sense of safety and security from crime and violence.
Decrease the likelihood of pedestrian injuries and fatalities: Streets that are designed with the safety of pedestrians in mind will decrease the likelihood of pedestrian/auto collisions, and the number of pedestrian injuries and fatalities that occur each year.
Increase accessibility for all street users: Streets that have a clear, accessible path of travel and are free from barriers and obstructions will result in increased usability for all users, including people with disabilities, seniors, children, parents with strollers, and everyone in between.
Support the City’s local shopping districts and small businesses: A street system that encourages people to walk to neighborhood commercial districts rather than drive to regional shopping centers for their daily needs helps to support the small commercial areas and small businesses that make up an important part of Florida character.
Provide open space in areas that are lacking: As Florida grows, there is increasing pressure on the City’s existing open spaces, and a need for open space in new neighborhoods. The city’s street system can complement and link to the larger open space network, bringing more open space to underserved neighborhoods.
Minimize stormwater pollution and combined sewer discharges: Streets can be designed to slow, reduce, and clean stormwater runoff. This can help to prevent pollution from entering the City’s sewer system and the Bay and Ocean.
