Complete streets design has evolved rapidly in the last five years with resources and guidance testing the limits of engineering practice and pushing forward innovative solutions to serve all ages and abilities. Robust public engagement during the planning process generates a great amount of excitement and support around complete streets, but as the push to innovate increases, the stakes and expectations for improvements have become ever higher. Long periods of time can pass while project sponsors look for funding, construction documents are developed, and improvements constructed, which can kill the momentum and public excitement generated during the planning process. At the same time, projects all too often emerge from a core safety concern, and that concern continues while the project awaits implementation. To overcome this gap, many cities have looked to "quick build" projects to pilot innovative designs efficiently, using materials that can easily be modified and adapted.
