In 2023, the City of Edmonton began the first major update to the Complete Streets Design and Construction Standards (CSDCS) since its publication in 2018. While minor updates have been carried out over the last 7 years, this represents the first major revision to align with evolving best practice around active modes, pedestrian safety, accessibility, and the City Plan.
As work wraps up on finalizing the updated document for publication this fall, the presentation will highlight the major changes to the CSDCS. From improvements to cross sections to enhance constructability, to integrating traffic safety and calming into new streets, to enhancing active modes, come learn what is new, what has changed, and what has been retired.
