If you’re thinking about adopting a Complete Streets Policy, it’s a good idea to talk with someone who
has been through the process. The City of Battle Ground, Washington was recognized as having the tenth best policy
in the nation in 2015 by Smart Growth America. I recently sat down with Scott Sawyer, the
Public Works Director at the City of Battle Ground, to discuss his experience.
Is the Complete Streets Model Our Future in Transportation?

America loves their cars. For over 100 years our city landscapes have been molded by the Car to provide for faster and more efficient transportation. We became an auto-centric society that gave little thought to other types of street users. But now those views are changing and more and more people are seeking policies that enhance healthy, safe and sustainable ways to build our transportation infrastructure. Many refer to this movement as Complete Streets.
