In summer 2012, the Toronto Centre for Active Transportation (TCAT) conducted survey-based research in Grey and Bruce Counties, Niagara Region and the City of Mississauga.
TCAT’s objective was to investigate the status of Complete Streets in these jurisdictions and to gain a better understanding of the barriers to implementing Complete Streets policy and projects. TCAT researchers collected online surveys from a diverse set of respondents from each jurisdiction including local planning, engineering and public health staff, private planning and engineering consultants and active transportation, accessibility advocates and elected officials.
Responses were analysed and incorporated into three case studies. This research was made possible with funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the George Cedric Metcalf Charitable Foundation.
