What ARE "Complete Streets"?  

How do you know when it's right for your town?  

What else do you need to know?

In this fun and engaging forum and workshop, attendees will be introduced to what Complete Streets are, learn from the experiences of three New Hampshire communities, and then test out how to apply the principles to real NH roads being considered for a complete streets makeover.
