In 2018, Baltimore adopted a new Complete Streets Ordinance that will change the transportation landscape of the city. The Complete Streets approach will elevate the priority of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users in planning and roadway design to increase the quality of life and mobility in Baltimore City.

Manual Development
As part of the Complete Streets effort, Baltimore City is developing a Complete Streets Manual. The major components of the manual will be:
- Design Standards for promoting safer streets, slower speeds, and increased walkability
- Modal hierarchy for how the City prioritizes different modes when planning and designing projects
- Street typologies for classifying city streets and standardizing roadway layout
- Project prioritization process that identifies and screens projects with an equity lens
- Community engagement policies centered around equity
A draft Complete Streets Manual will be released by April 1, 2020, for public comment.
Complete Streets Advisory Committee Meetings
