Miles of streets in the urban growth boundary in 2007, over 500 more than in 1996.

Featured viewpoint

When we walk out our front door, we should be able to choose a travel mode that suits our destination, our mood and our budget. A bike commute to downtown may become a bus ride in the early winter hours. Hauling seven boxes to the Rebuilding Center requires a car. Having transportation options make us feel smart and green and thrifty. Public investment in transit, sidewalks and bike lanes in our city centers or providing access to parks and open spaces knits people into a community.

Get involved
