The American Planning Association (APA) has awarded the Boston Complete Streets Guidelines the National Planning Excellence Award for a Communications Initiative. Toole Design Group produced the 200-page graphic compilation, which represents a fundamental change in Boston’s approach to street design and operations, in concert with Boston’s vision for becoming a more walkable, bikeable, transit-friendly, and livable city.
The Boston Complete Streets Design Guidelines has also won the Congress for New Urbanism New England Grand Award, the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Pedestrian and Bicycle Council Best Project Award, and now, the National Planning Excellence Award for a Communications Initiative.
