Complete Streets are streets that accommodate all users. Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and public transportation users of all ages and abilities are able to safely move along and across a complete street. The Woodward Avenue Action Association (WA3) is developing a Complete Streets Master Plan for the entire Woodward Corridor from Detroit to Pontiac and needs community input on how to make Woodward user-friendly for all citizens and modes of transportation. To get citizen input WA3 has been holding a series of free, three-day interactive community planning events. Two remain:
