Bicycle Retailer: Complete Streets Act of 2009 Introduced

From Bicycle Retailer:

Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Representative Doris Matsui (D-CA) have introduced the Complete Streets Act of 2009 into the U.S. Senate and House, to ensure that federal transportation infrastructure investments provide safe travel for Americans whether they are driving, bicycling, walking, or taking public transportation. They were joined by original co-sponsors Sen. Tom Carper, Rep. Ellen Tauscher, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, and Rep. David Wu.  “This legislation keeps one principle in mind: that our transportation system should work for all Americans… and not be focused solely on cars,” said Rep. Matsui, of Sacramento, California, which has a local complete streets policy.
