Complete Streets Committee
- Assess current policies, ordinances, and practices that hinder the existence of Complete Streets
- Outreach to the community to build public support for a Complete Streets policy in Kingston
- Draft Complete Streets policy for adoption by the Kingston Common Council
A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis was generated as part of the early assessment and planning for the 'complete streets' part of the Healthy Kingston for Kids initiative. The SWOT analysis identifies themes, focuses, and possible ways to support complete streets and active living planning. The analysis was used in the development of a short-term complete streets strategy that defines ways that the project participants can work with the community in addressing complete streets.
