Here is an article from ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) about the City of Phoenix's Lower Grand Ave and 1st Street improvement projects. It has some good in depth information from the City of Phoenix point of view regarding Great Streets/Complete Streets. I know some of you have pretty poor opinions of City street/traffic engineering staff.
It may be a protected article. If you can't read it, I can try to figure out how to post it... it's in the form of a .pdf if anyone would know how to make that available to everyone.
