oTIS coordinates the implementation of Complete Streets policies in Philadelphia. Complete Streets are designed to ensure safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders. The City’s Complete Streets policy was introduced in 2009, and requires a review of every construction project’s impact on roads, sidewalks, and the bicycle and transit network to ensure that all affected streets adhere to the City policy. This policy improves safety, promotes economic development, reduces congestion, and encourages active transportation.
Under the Complete Streets program, oTIS manages the City’s parklet, bike corral, and pedestrian plaza programs.

PROJECTS IN PROGRESS
WASHINGTON AVENUE REPAVING AND IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Since Spring of 2013, the City of Philadelphia has been working with a multitude of partners to plan for the future of Washington Avenue. We have studied parking, loading, traffic operations, driving behavior, and reached out to hundreds of stakeholders. Re-paving is scheduled for 2021, which provides the opportunity to implement design improvements that match the changing nature of development along Washington Avenue and in adjacent communities. Now is the time to put the pieces together to make Washington Avenue work better for all users.
We are building on years of studies and community outreach beginning in 2013. Community discussions will resume in March 2020. An online public open house is anticipated for April 2020. More details forthcoming.

Desde la primavera de 2013, la ciudad de Filadelfia ha estado trabajando con una multitud de socios para planificar el futuro de la Avenida Washington. Hemos estudiado el estacionamiento, la carga, las operaciones de tráfico, el comportamiento de conducción y nos hemos comunicado con cientos de partes interesadas. El nuevo pavimento está programado para 2021, lo que brinda la oportunidad de implementar mejoras de diseño que coincidan con la naturaleza cambiante del desarrollo a lo largo de Washington Avenue y en las comunidades adyacentes. Ahora es el momento de unir las piezas para que Washington Avenue funcione mejor para todos los usuarios.
Estamos construyendo sobre años de estudios y alcance comunitario iniciado en el 2013 y esperamos reanudar las conversaciones con la comunidad en marzo de 2020. Se prevé una jornada virtual de eventos abiertos al publico para abril de 2020. Más detalles se publicarán próximamente.
