Groups That Endorse the “Safe Streets” Campaign
The Complete Streets Coalition started as the Kalamazoo Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition in July 2013 promoting the “Safe Streets” campaign.
After meetings with MDOT and the City for several months, MDOT agreed to fund a charette for the target area identified on Michigan Ave. where Oakland Dr., Lovell St., South St., and Academy St. all intersect, along with Michigan Ave. through downtown east to the Kalamazoo River.
While working on that issue it became clear that a more comprehensive approach was needed to ensure Kalamazoo streets be made “Safe, Convenient and Accessible for All Users”. The group of citizens working on this issue decided to change the name to reflect the comprehensive approach needed.
