About
Complete Streets is a transportation policy and design approach that aims to make streets more safe, convenient, comfortable, and accessible for people of all ages and abilities, regardless of how they are traveling (i.e., foot, wheelchair, bicycle, scooter, vehicle, or bus). Complete Streets make it safer to cross a street, walk to stores, and bike to work. Complete Streets help buses to run on time and encourage safe driving behavior at intersections. These improvements will create a more connected city.
This website is dedicated to communicating the City of Bridgeport's commitments, actions, and accomplishments toward Complete Streets.

First Public Meeting + Take the Online Survey
The first of two public meetings for Bridgeport's Complete Streets Design Guide took place online on September 3. Click on the image to the left to watch a video recording of the meeting. The initial presentation showcased four representative street typologies that were identified based on the unique characteristics of Bridgeport's streets. The Complete Streets Design Guide will provide street design and operation guidance for these street typologies. Next, participants were guided through an online survey to solicit feedback on the modes of transportation (pedestrian, bicycle/scooter, or bus) and complementary improvements (e.g., bus shelters, lighting, etc.) that should be prioritized for each street type.
