Transportation and Public Spaces Principles

Local Streets IconLocal Streets

Quality local streets are an integral part of a larger network of routes designed to provide access to homes, shops and businesses, and to keep local traffic off major arterials and high-speed, through-traffic off local roads.

Principles in Action

A proposed redevelopment plan for the Troostwood Neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri, takes advantage of a well-designed local street network.

Liberty, Missouri, has a tradition of designing quality streets to meet different kinds of transportation needs.
