Updates to Comprehensive PlanChapter 6
• Complete Streets• CSS Process• Context-Sensitive Cross
Sections• Target Speed• Right-of-way
![Page 10: College Station Comprehensive Plan Transportation Update](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062822/5882cc3e1a28abf8388b4ceb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Complete Streets
• Complete Streets are streets designed for everyone and considers all appropriate transportation modes
• Each one is unique and should relate to its surrounding community context
![Page 11: College Station Comprehensive Plan Transportation Update](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062822/5882cc3e1a28abf8388b4ceb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Context Sensitive Solutions• Context-sensitive street design considers:
• Adds Design Flexibility• Functional Class• Land Use Context
• The typical cross section isn’t always the best or most appropriate alternative• Example: Northgate not like Harvey

if the typical cross section is most appropriate to achieve a corridor’s planned transportation goals
2) If other travel modes or design elements should be prioritized, then the most appropriate alternative context-sensitive cross sections should be selected.
