Legislature, cities weigh 'Complete Street' approach to road projects
A mundane sewer-upgrade project could provide the impetus for the city of Richfield to turn 76th Street into a “Complete Street.” The traditional way of doing the work — tear up the street, complete the underground repairs, then rebuild the roadway as it was — didn’t appeal to folks in the area, who saw the project as an opportunity to make the roadway more suitable for cyclists and pedestrians.
