Millburn Complete Streets Project - Award Winning Design for Our Future
Complete Streets is a critically important program for the long term safety and vitality of downtown Millburn. The program originated at the Federal level, came down to the States and then to the Counties, and ultimately to the municipalities. It’s a grant credit program meant to improve the dangerously conflicting interaction between vehicular traffic and pedestrians. In considering the fundamental objectives of Complete Streets, Millburn Township immediately recognized the opportunity to take advantage of the program to address longstanding systemic problems in the downtown area.
Pedestrian safety is paramount. The Complete Streets Initiative prioritizes pedestrian safety and includes a variety of engineering improvements meant to create safer pedestrian conditions, improve traffic flow in congested areas, calm traffic at other areas and improve the efficiency, functionality and vibrancy of downtown Millburn.
