The purpose of this report is to highlight the economic benefits of bicycle infrastructure or other improvements by calculating and assigning a dollar value to every additional bicycle mile generated by those improvements.

Complete streets in New Orleans: Recommended measures

Complete Streets is a fundamentally different approach to transportation planning, design, and engineering than the status quo of the last half century.
