Chicago Complete Streets


Chicago Complete Streets


Transforming our streets into safe, equitable, inviting spaces for all - regardless of age, ability, or travel mode. CDOT’s Complete Streets work is built upon three strategic pillars: 

Street Design


Redesigning streets to reflect the different ways people move around Chicago.

Community Dialogue


Building partnerships and elevating lived experiences.

Mobility Data


Using data to identify, evaluate, and prioritize investments. 


Complete Streets Programs


Complete Streets benefit all modes of transportation – walking, biking, rolling, public transit, and driving – by making our streets safer and more accessible for everyone. Complete Streets are implemented across the following programs.
